  Hi,
  I have few questions, and i’m very lost, so i’m sorry if my questions are silly
  1) How do I separate the content area from sidebar like in this blog
  https://theutterblog.wordpress.com/
  so that background appears between them.

  2) How do I get 2 menus like the same blog? basically i want to move the menu I have in the black ribbon up above the header, and have another one in its place?

  the blog i need help with is
  http://organizingqueens.com/

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

  Hi Yasmine,

  How do I separate the content area from sidebar like in this blog
  https://theutterblog.wordpress.com/
  so that background appears between them.

  I see you have added some CSS already for a background color on your widgets. You can instead use this code, which will color the entire widget area background:

  #main .widget-area {
  	background: #e8ebca;
  }

  For your second question, it’s not possible to add a second menu area with CSS, as that is something that is coded into the functions file of the theme. You would need to use a theme that has multiple menu support built in.

  Hi again,

  Thanks for pointing that out. That site is using the same theme you are, but the way they are implementing that menu is pretty clever, and does use CSS to make it happen.

  To explain, they are using the Custom Menu widget in their sidebar to create those category listing, and then using CSS to position the menu over the main content area, giving the illusion that there is a second menu there, when really it’s a widget in disguise.

  That said, I think the owner of that blog may have hired a designer to help out (unless they have some serious CSS skills) as there are close to 100 lines of CSS code that seem necessary to make that happen.

  It’s outside of the scope of this support forum to help with that, but you may want to contact the site owner, and ask if they are willing to share their CSS?

  Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
