 * Hi everyone,
    I’m fairly new to this and have spent many hours trying to make
   my wordpress template (child of twenty twelve) look like my html website. I’m
   doing this as I wanted to add a blog to my website. Blog: blog.theayurvedapractice.
   com Website: [http://www.theayurvedapractice.com](http://www.theayurvedapractice.com)
 * After many hours, I have managed to get close (on Firefox and Chrome – nowhere
   near on IE but that’s another stage altogether!). However, I want to make the
   site-content’s position absolute so that the widget area (with the drawing) and
   the content always come up next to each other and look right (I don’t want site-
   content to move to the left and push the widget area down which is what happens
   when I have the site-content floating and reduce the window size of browser).
 * When I specify an absolute position for the site-content (left 337px), suddenly
   the html pixel size (not sure what the name for this is) reduces to about half
   the height that it was and therefore pushes the footer up into the middle of 
   the page (as it is doing now).
 * Anyone know why this is happening? I am not very technical so any simple explanations
   would be most appreciated!
 * Thanks.
