I have been trying to get a blog to work on my site for a few days now. At first there was no sidebar and the content was spanning the whole wrapper. Then there was a sidebar and my content was in the right section like it was supposed to be BUT it started where the sidebar ended - leaving a huge gap at the start of the blog content.

At this point I know how my content showing up in the right place but my sidebar has completely disapeered.

I have tried changing the size of my content area down as I thought it was possible there wasn't enough room for both divs horizontally but nothing changed. My sidebar floats left and my content floats right.

I have tried to troubleshoot this for hours and it is exhausting :) Can somebody please offer some suggestions to fix what is going on?

For your assistance I'll give you one giant cyber hug :)

in that screen shot I dont see any side bar at all.

As you have described your sidebar is left floated and your content is right floated I think that reducing some width from either from your sidebar or content area will fix the problem. If you can show up the template code I think someone will be able to give a proper answer.
