Hello guys! I'd appreciate it if one of you better versed than I in Wordpress coding could help me out real quick. I've recently launched my own copywriting firm at http://www.ActualCopywriting.com and installed the MailChimp plug-in, a widget, so I can begin building a list.

The problem is that the theme I use, BonPress, places the widgets in the left sidebar underneath the menu. For better visibility and a more balanced look, is there any way I can alter the code so that my opt-in form is placed on the right side of my website?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

    If you know a little bit of CSS you can do the following:

    1. Find your style.css
    2. Open it and find #widget_ns_mailchimp
    3. Add this code between the { and } brackets
    Code:
    text-align:right;
    This should work. If its what I think you're going for.

    since you are using wordpress, use artisteer to design a 3 column template and install it on your website, then, use the widget on the backend to change the position of the opt-in form to the right. i believe it is going to work.

      Thanks for replying, Nathan & masterz! For some reason, the opt-in widget doesn't appear to be in my stylesheet.css editor. I'll download artisteer and see if I can upload & edit BonPress.

      Thanks guys!

      EDIT: Dang! It seems Artisteer doesn't allow you to export themes without watermarks unless you purchase the professional edition.

    What you really are asking is this:
    Can I have a right-hand sidebar without learning how to design/edit the XHTML/CSS of a theme?

    Answer: No, you can NOT.

    Get a theme that already has either:
    - sidebars on both sides
    or
    - right-hand sidebar

    You don't need that artisteer thingy (it creates bad, bloated code); get a free theme from the WordPress site... it has over 1,500.
