CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all,
I am trying to align the news block on the right in the simplex template and can’t work out how?

In other words I would like the main content on the left and the news block on the right.

Any help would be much appreciated

I can't work it out myself right now, but Simplex is built using a 12 column grid system (see style sheet Simplex: Core). In the template you see that the news module has class sidebar grid_4 pull_8.
grid_4 means the width of this class is 4 columns (out of 12).
pull_8 means (if I remember well) the collumn is pulled 8 columns to the left.
When you remove pull_8 from the class, the news column is put to the right of your content, but the main content has not changed place, so the news column is now projected over your main content (try it!).
To get the main content on the left you should change its class in some way, but this is where I'm lost at the moment.
At least it's a start for you.
You may also visit http://960.gs/ to read some more about the grid system.

Thank you Frank for pointing me in the right direction
