  Hi
  I am using the theme twenty eleven (but happy to change themes).
  When the blog is viewed on an iPad the sidebar shifts to the bottom. I know this is to improve readability, but I would like to disable this function, or use a theme where the sidebar is always on the side. Is this possible?
  Thanks
  Peter

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

  Hi there!

  This is to increase readability. There’s really no mobile version that’s going to have the sidebar on remain on the side of the page because a mobile screen is so thin.

  However you can turn off the mobile version for your site by following these directions:

  Let me know if I can help with anything else!

  Hi Shawna
  Thanks…. that’s helpful.
  Is it possible to reduce the width of the sidebar?

  Hi there!

  This type of change can only be done using CSS. If you’d like to make this change, you can purchase the Custom Design upgrade to be able to edit the CSS of your page.

  Changes to widths can be complicated. Here’s a link to CSS Basics, which will be helpful if you haven’t worked with CSS before:
