It messes up my template.
I have this code:
body#layout .art-content-layout .art-sidebar1
{
width: 332px;
}
Is there any way I can split my sidebar into 2 columns without messing up my temp?
Send me your template at weblodesign1@gmail.com, to see what's the problem.
I'm afraid I can't do that. Oh I used version 3 in making mine. Is there any other way?
Not realy. The only solution if you realy want to have two columns split, is to remake the template in a older version (2.4) and then apply the trick.
When the final version of 3.0 will appear I will try to find a solution.
Oh I see. Bookmarked your site for future reference. :)
Ok . Thanks.
how to undo this change?
