 * I ma having a layout problem. [http://jordanlancaster.patbell.co.uk/contact/](http://jordanlancaster.patbell.co.uk/contact/)
   is more or less as I wnat it except I want the form bit moved up a bit. I have
   tried adding style=”top:-30px” to the div that encloses the form but it does 
   nothing. I have tried style=”position:absolute; left:310px; top:-30px” which 
   kind of works except it messes up the entry-content container (if thats the right
   word for the rectangle with the lighter background thats supposed to ‘contain’
   my content – its called entry-content in debug).

 * So the issue is you can’t apply CSS to one particular page?

 * If you look at the page you’ll see a lot of space above the form fields. Any 
   absolute positioning seems to upset the background ‘container’ and trying to 
   move, say ‘Name’ up by using css (top:-35px for example) seems to have no effect.
