static columns possible ?

On my several sites, the pictures, drawings, etc. I place in the middle content column vary in width. So a static center section/column would be great.

Unfortunately, when they go below the content in the left sidebar, the pictures move over.

Makes my sites all wobbly looking.

Is there a way, other than having a myriad of items in the sidebar, to prevent the center column form moving over into the left sidebar ?

So I need to make 2 changes, make both the left side-bar and the center column static.

I don’t know much css, so if css is the answer, I would need details.

Thank you.

That’s a CSS issue.

You’ll probably have to be more specific with your issue, because I’m not clear what you’re talking about. Can you provide a link to the site?

All of them. I’ll just post a link to one as it is the most obvious.

AD&D rpg site

When I add an article with a picture, the sidebars and article flow back and forth, rather than not moving.

left sidebar extends down a bit. When articles or picture extend below the left sidebar, they move to below the left sidebar. Instead of staying in the middle of the page.

.hfeed, the container in question isn’t even mentioned in your CSS. Add something like

.hfeed {
	margin-left: 220px;
	}

Get yourself the Firefox / Firebug combo, very helpful for inspecting and trial-editing your CSS.

That fixed it.

I did edit the css file some days ago, but its still basically the css that comes with textpattern.
