Once you've done that the rest of the theme will fall into place Jo, if you increase the size of the sidebar you'll probably need to decrease the size of the content area.

I'm trying out this theme right now, http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/barthelme/ version 4.1 The test page is here: http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/107/barthelme-101/ The sidebar is really cramped, is there a way to widen it to at least 250px? Will widening it hurt other areas? I've been spending days and days trying to find the solution to this. Do you have a guide on how to widen the sidebar area without messing up everything?

So, <code><div id="container"> <div id="content>YOUR CONTENT</div> <div style="clear: both"></div> </div></code> That basically tells the browse to bring any floating elements (such as the sidebar) back into the main flow of the page, and so displaying the background in FireFox.

I was using the Kuberick theme as the basis for my site, and this really helped me strip it down and modify it. I am still having one tiny issue. When you look at an individual post, or a category with few posts, and the post is shorter than the sidebar the background does meet the footer. http://www.mixedstudentresources.com/?p=51 And the best part is that it is fine in IE, but messed up in Firefox. Any ideas? Thanks for your tutorial. I was using the Kuberick theme as the basis for my site, and this really helped me strip it down and modify it.
