 * I took the default theme and just beat it to hell. Anyhow I’m having an issue.

 * On the bottom left hand side, the layout doesn’t go under the navigation. I’m
   not quite sure why. Any ideas?

 * your “navi” is set to “position:absolute;”
 * Absolute positioning takes items out of the document flow. Nothing is related
   to it, so the outer container won’t push past it.
 * You can *try* setting your #container as “position:relative;” but it may not 
   solve your problem.

 * you are correct, it didn’t solve it.

 * Then you need to remove the “position:absolute;” from your “navi” section. But
   in looking at how things are set up, this is going to cause your sidebar to move
   somewhere else.
 * Change this section:
 * `#info, #update, #news, #request {
    width: 459px; margin-left: 201px;...
 * remove the “margin-left” and put in “float:right;”, and remove the absolute positioning
   from #navi, and put in “float:left;”
 * Then you’ll have to clear your floats. So you’ll need to add in:
 * `#news:after, #navi:after {
    content:"."; display:block; clear:both; visibility:
   hidden; }
 * That probably won’t completely fix it, but it’ll give you something to start 
   with.

 * that too didn’t work, took the background (#container) away and threw the sidebar(
   left side) down about 30 pixels. I appreciate the help alot though.

 * Actually, yeah, it worked, but yes, it does push the stuff down a bit below the
   header. What I gave you was a *start* not a complete solution.
 * Depending on what browser you’re viewing in is why the “container was taken away”–
   it’s not “taken away” it just that whatever browser you are using doesn’t clear
   floats in this manner. So you can go into your template files and add in `<hr
   class="clear" />` right *before* the closing div tag (the one that closes your#
   container div), and in your CSS, add in
 * hr.clear {
    clear:both; visibility:hidden;}
 * That will cause the #container to now clear both floats. You’ll have to find 
   out what setting you have in your header (or whatever is above these fields) 
   that is causing them to push down by such a margin.
 * But yes, what I gave you *is* correct – it was just a starting point. The rest
   is “fiddling” until you get what you want.

   you 🙂
