  My new little blog is http://www.remembering-chiara.com, and on the home page I would like to move the search box to a different area and move the items all the way at the end of the post to the left side of my post. I am not seeing how to do this, although my theme seems to support it based on the visuals I see for it.

  Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, while it’s not possible to move the existing search box in the Chateau theme, since you have the Custom Design upgrade, you can just hide the existing search box and add another as a search widget.

  To hide the existing search box, try adding this code under Appearance > Custom Design. Click the CSS tab and add this completely below the existing green comments:

  #search {
  display: none;
  }

  Click Save when you’re done.

  Now, under Appearance > Widgets, you can add a search widget to one of the five widgetized sidebar areas.

  move the items all the way at the end of the post to the left side of my post.

  Which specific items at the end of the post are you looking to move? Just let me know and I’ll be glad to have a look. Would you be able to provide a link to a page where you see this in place so I can have a look and get a better sense of what you want to accomplish?

  Under Appearance > Theme Options, you can choose between concise and detailed archive formats – could that be what you mean?

  Thanks!
