  Hi All,

  I’d like to get rid of the grey side strips on my blog, http://solidgoldcreativity.com. It uses theme K2-lite. I’d like to have them white instead of grey. Any suggestions much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

  ha ha, too easy, huh? Thanks once again, my friend ;)

  What about if I wanted to move the main post column to the right by about half an inch (while keeping it the same width cos I prefer narrower column width … easier to read)?

  SGx

  @TSP, btw, love the grey tabs at the top. It’s lighter and airier than a solid black strip. Ta.

  You’re welcome. You could use a light grey strip across the bottom of the image, but I like having tabs that have different colors for inactive, hover and active status, and using the grey tabs retains that.

  Yes, I think the grey tabs work really well. Also, one last question …

  I would like to move the main post column to the right by about half an inch (while retaining the same col width cos I prefer narrow column width). I’ve played around with #primary margin and padding commands, but no luck so far.

  Thanks. SGx

  To move the primary section to the right, you will have to specify all 4 padding values. In margin or padding, the sequence is top, right, bottom, left, so in #primary, change the padding to the following:

  padding:20px 0 10px 40px;

  The 40px value is the one you will have to play with. 40px seems pretty good though.

  Ah, brilliant. That’s what I didn’t know: the sequence. Thank you once again.xxx
