 * Hi. Sorry to post again but I got no answers and I think I have narrowed down
   what the problem is that someone might be able to help with.
 * I have a blog at [http://politzer.brinkster.net/Blog](http://politzer.brinkster.net/Blog)
   
   that I want to make look like
 * [http://politzer.brinkster.net/Blog.html](http://politzer.brinkster.net/Blog.html)
 * Something about the WordPress code is making that container wider than it should
   be. How do I customize it so that it stops interfering with the sidebar? Thank
   you.

 * A couple of things to try.
 * Add the width to your .entry class:
 *     ```
       .entry {
       	background: #ECDB96 url('images/corner.jpg') no-repeat top left;
       	margin: 20px 20px 0 0;
       	padding: 12px;
       width: 530px;
       	}
       ```
   
 * Change the padding in your sidebar ID:
 *     ```
       #sidebar {
       	background: url('images/sidetop.jpg') no-repeat top;
       	padding: 0 0px 40px 0px;
       	margin-top: 202px;
       	}
       ```
   
 * And not sure why you have this div ID and class in place?
 * `<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">`

 * I will try those things.
    I am not sure where the content and narrowcolumn class
   came from. Thanks.

 * The removal of the sidebar padding helped, but I don’t think “entry” might be
   the right thing. I narrowed the “entry” to 500 px but it’s not doing anything.

 * Maybe the problem is that I have the sidebar info in the header.php?
 * I got rid of the php include sidebar in the index(?) because I wanted to use 
   my own navigation sidebar instead of the WordPress one.
 * Where should I put the sidebar info?
