  Hello,

  I recently found a tutorial that assisted me in creating a new homepage sidebar php file in order to add a sidebar to my static homepage. I registered the new sidebar, and I am now able to drag widgets to it. It is also visible on the homepage, but it is a staggered mess rather than a streamlined horizontal row.

  The php file (with internal styling) is as follows:

  <style>
  #sidebar {
  bottom:0;
  width:100%;
  height:350px;
  }
  #sidebar li {
  list-style-type:none;
  float:right;
  padding-left:30px
  padding-right:30px
  width:260px;
  }
  </style>
  <div id=”sidebar”>

  <?php
  if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘homepage-sidebar’) ) :
  endif; ?>

  </div>

  What am I doing wrong? I’m in the process of reading a ton of CSS literature and I can’t quite seem to identify what went wrong. If you can give me a hint, that would be lovely, or even direct me to some additional literature.

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

  You are in the wrong forum and need to be at WordPress.ORG for assistance with that version of the software.
