What's the correct position for the logo? You should be able to move it around with this CSS:

.logo{
float:left;
margin:27px 0px 0px 31px;

.

 

For the sidebar, add

width: 200px;

to

#sidebar li ul{
padding:0px 0px 20px 22px;
line-height:20px;
width: 200px;
}

hi thanks for the reply

 

yeah im looking to line it up with the left margin of the sidemenu bar. i forgot to mention that i wanna make the logo larger without changing the page going all crazy out of place

 

and yeah the sidebar edit worked fantastically

 

cheers

If you want a larger logo, create a larger image. You don't want to display a small image in a larger size - it'll likely look bad.

 

This code

.logo{
float:left;
margin:27px 0px 0px 31px;

gives you the top-right-bottom-left margins of the logo. In specifically that order. Just adjust as needed.

 

But get the logo image the size you want first, before you worry about moving it around. Then we can take it from there.

thanks andrea,

 

i moved it over a bit and i think ill just keep it that size on second thought not to take the attention away from the content

 

 

So do you have any cool widgets you can suggest for my page?

[Andrea]

I'm not very familiar with the widgets. All I use are one for forms and a language switcher.

hi andrea,

 

thanks for the help and made some little tweaks to the design

 

i noticed my links at the top are broken and not to sure how to fix them

 

i definately would want to put an FAQ page on there for a bit of extra helpful content
