 * Hi there,
    I have a theme that is taking CSS instructions from a file called 
   mobile.css In there, all column widths are specified eg: onecol, twocol etc.
 * My sidebar is using the fourcol code. Unfortunately so does my footer so when
   I try to give my sidebar a different background colour, it also applies to the
   footer.
 * Does anyone have any idea how I might change this, the author of the theme is
   no help whatsoever and I have been trying for days now. Its the only thing holding
   up the site from being launched!
 * PLEASE HELP!!
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Jenny

 * It is very difficult to diagnose this type of problem without being able to view
   actual problem on the site. If you post a link to your site, someone may be able
   to help you.
