How to put a fixed text on LHS?

    I’m using Manifest theme for my blog.

    I would like to get a fixed text on left hand side of the main text, in all pages. With “fixed” I mean it doesn’t move while scrolling down the pages, exactly like in this web site: ryanbrenizer.com

    Furthermore, I’d like to customize this text, such as: enricobergamini.com

    Thank you all

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

    I imply text is turned vertical, exactly like ryanbrenizer.com

    Hi, give this a try. You can adjust the position of the text with the top and left values. I also included a lot of other options, such as size, color, font weight and even a text shadow. Use what you wish and delete the others.

    #site-wrapper:before {
    color: #CC0000;
    content: "Some Text On the Left Side.";
    font-size: 250%;
    font-weight: bold;
    left: 50px;
    position: fixed;
    text-shadow: 1px 1px #000000;
    top: 250px;
    transform: rotate(-90deg);
    -ms-transform:rotate(-90deg);
    -webkit-transform:rotate(-90deg);
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3)";
}

    thesacredpath, you’ve a done with the “wow” effect! :-) that is exactly what I needed!

    How should I learn CSS instead of googling? (I’m quite used with other programming languages, such as C)

    There are some resources listed in the CSS help section at the bottom of the CSS Editing support page.

    Also, you can gain a lot by using the web inspector tool in your browser. We have a support page on How to Find Your Theme’s CSS with some brief screencasts to get you started. Once you look at the HTML, and see how it and the CSS relate to each other, it becomes a lot easier. And Google gets a workout when learning CSS. I think I wore out a couple keyboards when I first started to learn it. :)
