Srini - thanks for your help. All is fixed now.

Thanks Srini. Part of it was that the sidebar had a float:left instead of right in there. Just trying to figure out a way to get it to the top of the page now!
#68: Srini says:
Ray, thanks for using the theme.
Seems that some element in the comments template has too much width… that’s one possible reason I can think of why the sidebar drops down towards the bottom of the page. Open style.css and try reducing the width for the comment element.

Hi Srini - thought I’d finally post to say that I love the theme and can’t see me changing to something else. In the near future, at least
One thing that has me stumped: on the main page and any other page, the side bar shows up fine. On the post page itself (if you go to comment, for example) the grey sidebar shows up correctly, but the links in the sidebar are at the bottom of the page (http://www.lostaddress.org/index.php/2007/11/11/gravatars/ illustrates this). I’ve looked all over the archive.php file but can’t see anything in there that would affect it like this. Can you help?
If not, no problem, it may just be me experiencing this. The theme is excellent regardless.

I think FLuid Blue is a nice simple liquid theme and after I have see many others I choose it!
You are great
!

Thanks Chris!
To have different color for links in content, open style.css file, somewhere around line 280 you will find a block
.postentry a {}. Add a color property to that, for example, something likecolor:red;. See also this comment.#64: Chris says:
First of all, love the theme!
My question: Is there a way to make the links in the content one color and the links in the links bar another?
Thanks for the help, and Kudos on the excellent theme.

When I made a comment, the version was 2.2 and postings was tagged. During 2.2 period, none of tag cloud plug-ins worked (error messages on the sidebar) and this was the time point I asked the above question.
While waiting for your answer, I tried upgrading WP with a hope of getting a working tag cloud. Unfortunately, the tagging plugin crashed (sorry for my illiteracy) and 2.3 does not recognize the tagging DB. I’m not sure what’s going on underneath, though. I’d like to say you are absolutely right and your comment clarifies what went wrong. Many thanks~
#62: Srini says:
Why? WP 2.3 comes with a default tag cloud widget, is it not? I see that you already have the tag cloud widget towards the bottom of the sidebar, but seems that none of the posts have been tagged. Once you tag the posts, the tags will start appearing on the sidebar.

With small changes (font size and margins), our group has been happy with your theme. Thanks!
My question is how to include tag cloud in the sidebar? I’ve downloaded some plug-ins but none of them worked. Would you give me some tips?
