Having problem with wordpress sidebar

    Hi Guys hope you can help. Sometimes when I'm thinking about changing one of my sites I play around with it in a community blog I run for my local writers group. It doesn't attract much attention so the odd whoppsie for a short time is not that important.


    OK so I decided to give Thesis 1.8 a trial run. Added the Network News skin and generally speaking I'm reasonably happy with the results to date. Tweaking has to be done, but then with a new design that's pretty standard.


    The problem I'm having is with my sidebar: if you take a look at the site you will see that the sidebar on the home page is pushed down the page, while the sidebar on the inside appear as you'd expect.


    In the css style sheet that came with the Network News skin the custom sidebar were declared thus:


    .custom #sidebars {
    margin-top: -248px;
    }


    That had the effect of showing the main page ok but pushing the sidebars in the rest of the side up through the header. When I changed the style to


    .custom #sidebars {
    margin-top: 0px;
    }


    That had the effect of pushing the inside sidebars down to where they should be and at the same time pushing the home page sidebar down the page. It is as you see it now.



    I've tried various things but nothing seems to work. I'm thinking that if I had a custom style that would only affect the homepage then that would solve the problem, but I have little or no knowledge of css – anyone take a bash at writing one?


    Any suggestions as to how I might fix this up – I'm anxious to start redesigning my other more important sites.


    Kevin
