One Question

Hey guys, created this site roughly a week ago (my first website so I'm a complete newbie).
I'd like to create a margin distance between the slider and the search box widget (like the distances between the other widgets) but don't know how...

Any help would be appreciated

Oh and the site is classychap .com (wasn't able to fully link it because not enough posts)

    Well done if that is your 1st blog theme site!!
    Nice job on putting it all together with the custom header, slider box and content.

    I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to though with "create a margin distance between the slider and search box widget.

    In my browser (chrome) there is a nice, equal distance white space between the content main area and the search box widget and the upper area slider. All looks equidistant and even.
    Or were you trying to get the Slidedeck Lite plugin to display in the main content area of the site and have the Search box and other widgets aligned to the right of the Slidedeck content?
    If that was your intention then maybe adjusting the Slidedeck lite placement code to match the normal main content area may be the ticket. The 100% full width Slidedeck placement code may be shoving the widgets down.
    The Slidedeck placement code (from their plugin site) is:
    <?php slidedeck(12,array('width'=>'100%','height'=>'300p x')); ?>
    Your code states for width 100% and height 250.
    So what you could try is change width=>100% to what ever the pixel width of the main content area is. Change that in the settings you gave your Slidedeck Lite plugin. Try 800 first as that seems to be what the main content area is.
    I'm curious if that is the solution... would love to hear back.

      Yeah, I was able to fix the margin problem earlier with some extra help from a different forum.

      However, what you suggested (shortening the slider to have it only above my main content) is actually what I had planned in mind before.... I just gave up on it. I couldn't find where to change the 100% to 800 pixels though

    .skin-slidedeck-classic {

    width: 800px

    }

    Put that into your CSS file and let me know if it works.
