Thank you so much for your response. I did clean up the messy HTML but it didn’t help. Here’s how it looks now:

<div id="custom-widget-area">
   			<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'Custom Widget Area' ); ?>
   			</div>
   		<div id="custom-widget-area2">
   			<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'Custom Area Two' ); ?>
   			</div>
   		<div id="custom-widget-area3">
   			<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'Custom Widget Three' ); ?>
   			</div>

I keep wondering about the selectors I was using. I got them by looking at the text with Firebug, which shows “text-2” etc. But the HTML above uses “custom-widget-area” etc. But changing that didn’t help either. Any other ideas? Thanks again.

Yes, that was what I wanted. (Sorry for my verbosity.) I have tried variations of that solution a thousand times and it never worked until NOW. (I’m sure I kept getting it wrong.) Thank you so much!!! The only thing wrong now is that the left menu and content are indented on the nonfront pages. Am trying to figure out how to turn that off and I will be home free by looking for some margin setting that is not immediately apparent. Thanks again!!!
