  I’ve happily skinned my sandbox at transitstation.com.au

  Leaving the imporant stuff till last, I haven’t worked out how to add content (ie text widgets) to my second side bar.

  Additionally, the far right side bar evaporates when i load up in IE (as opposed to firefox)

  Sidebar CSS:

  #sidebar {
  overflow:hidden;
  float:none;}
  div#primary {
  float:left;
  width:110px;
  border-left:dotted #a0a0a0 1px;
  margin:0 0 0 -280px;
  padding:10px 0 10px 20px;}
  div#secondary {
  float:left;
  border-left:dotted #a0a0a0 1px;
  width:110px;
  margin:0 0 0 -130px;
  padding:10px 0 10px 20px;}

  And if there’s a way to place date published content on the same line as entry-title content an example would be great.

  Thanks!

  Have you researched the disappearing sidebar issue separately? I don’t think it’s a CSS issue: IE is just way more touchy about all the things that cause that than FF is. It’s very common and not hard to fix.

  Yeah, I’ve gone through the FAQ extensively with no luck. It’s not that the sidebar moves to the bottom, it simply disappears. Have concluded, perhaps incorrectly, that it’s an issue with widgets.

  I think the first question on how to add content to the second sidebar will solve it…

  When you go to Design->Widgets, what do you see? You should be able to simply add the widgets on that page to the sidebar.

  Maybe it’s gone because of your div#primary and div#secondary margin values.
