I am using the template with a left sidebar for navigation, etc. I would like to move the sidebar up to meet the same horizontal position as the main content portion of this theme since it the default is to have it further down on the page as the main content area. How can I achieve this in the style sheet?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, try adding this code to the bottom of your template.css file, in the theme -> css folder:
#rt-sidepanel, #rt-sidepanel-content {margin-top: 0 !important;} #rt-sidepanel-gradient, #rt-body-surround {margin-top: -30px !important;}
I think that will do it, this theme is structured very differently than our others so the layout is much more complex to move around. If this doesn't work, please leave the code in place or take a screen shot so I can see what might be going wrong. - The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I tried your suggestion and it moves the entire page up, not just the left sidebar. Here is what it looks like:

Any other thoughts?

Hi, sorry I had a feeling something was missing or not right, I had to try a bunch of things in the web inspector to get it to work, and there isn't an easy way to keep track of it all.
If you can provide FTP access, I can make the change for you. There is one combination of adjustments that will do it - it's a bit complicated, so probably easier for me to just do it than it is to try and explain it. Once I get it, I'll post the right code here and let you know what I did. - The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Hi, sorry it was way simpler than I thought:
#rt-body-surround.standard {margin-top:0;} - The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.
