Hi Kurtis,I'm glad you found the tutorial heulpfl, but not so glad you struggled with some parts. For me, CSS is sometimes a bit of a battle, so don't feel too bad about spending all that time with it. I'm sure it was frustrating. And even though it didn't work as well as you would have liked, I'm sure you learned a lot.To answer your questions:-get my content centered correctlyIn your #content div add 0 to the top and bottom margin like this margin: 0 auto; AND remove the float: left; you have assigned to #content. It looks like you have #content in 2 different CSS files so you'll have to make sure making changes to one doesn't mess up something else.-make certain elements (header bar, footer blue color) stretch all the way across a browser windowSorry, this one is fairly tricky and beyond the scope of this tutuorial.-position the actual blog post area and side bar correctlyThis is the most common problem people ask about. It's usually a matter of adjusting the widths of the content and sidebar divs and making sure you clear the float after the two divs. See some of the other posts asking the same question for a more complete answer. However, in your case it's going to be affected by all that comes above it, like the header that has absolute positioning. So I'm afraid I don't have a clear solution for you on this one either. If I get some time I'll take a more careful look at your CSS with Firebug. By the way, I only use positioning when I absolutely have to.Regarding your request for help, I'll will send you an email about what I can offer.swolock
