How to display sidebar?

[valarcher]

I’m sorry, you must’ve been asked this question a million times! I’m new to wordpress.

How do I get my blog text to display on left (70%) and a sidebar on right (30%)?

I want it to look like this page - where the sidebar is part of the background color.

This is my test page:

I’ve googled and googled and can’t find a single guideline on how to display sidebar on right.

thank you for your kind help - Val

I’ve googled and googled and can’t find a single guideline on how to display sidebar on right.

That’s odd, as it’s a standard thing to do. Basically you want to know how to create columns.

Here’s one old-fashioned way to do it:

#container, #sidebar {margin: 0; padding: 0;}

#container {width: 70%; float: left;}

#sidebar {width: 30%; float: right;}
