 * Great theme! I’m still in the learning curve but I’m sure I’ll figure it out 
   eventually.

 * How harsh. You spent 30 minutes on that _gorgeous_, well thought out, _wonderful
   example of CSS_ theme and you think it’s a waste of time?
 * Well. OK then. 😉
 * Yes, I’m a fan. That left column is supposed to be fixed and immovable and yes
   that means widgets that fall off the page are not viewable. That’s a design choice
   and I hope after you’ve read my post here you will consider changing your rating.
 * It also took me all of 15 minutes to identify what CSS needs to be updated via
   a child theme. It took that long because my CSS is just not that good but I have
   had some practice.
 * Give this a try.
 * Using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management
   tools your host provides you with and create a directory inside of `wp-content/
   themes` and name that new directory `stitch-child`.
 * Inside that `stitch-child` directory create one file called `style.css` and copy
   these lines into it.
 *     ```
       /*
       Theme Name: Stitch Child Theme
       Author: Self-Help WordPress User
       Template: stitch
       */
   
       @import url("../stitch/style.css");
   
       #masthead {
               position: relative !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * That will force the `#masthead` from being a `fixed` position to a `relative`
   one.
 * Now visit your WordPress dashboard and activate the theme called `Stitch Child
   Theme`. Then add as many widgets as you want, when you scroll down the page the
   left column will now scroll up.
 * CSS-wise this isn’t the best solution and I really don’t like to use `!important`.
   Also I’m not sure how this will render on a device such as an iPad. But my CSS
   isn’t that good and I only spent 15 minutes looking at this problem. 😉

 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * I used Chrome’s built-in inspect element to identify the `#masthead` element.
   You can do the same with [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/) on Firefox. The method
   I used is outlined in this article.

 * I hope that helps you out and again please reconsider your rating. Stitch really
   is a well thought out theme.
