    Hi

    I am using NoSidebar theme but I want a sidebar to the blog post pages. Is this easy to do?

    I understand css but I am not so great in html. Maybe someone have a tutorial or a way around this problem?

    It will also be really cool if someone will help me to build a top section for me similar to this: http://kreativejobber.no/

    I think that is the point to this particular theme (no sidebar). It only has a layout setting of full-width. So it doesn't have the capability built in to have a sidebar. In order to have a sidebar the theme would need to have more layout settings available such as content-sidebar, sidebar-content, etc...

    Is there a way to get this by manual program it into the theme? I really need a right column/sidebar. If not the main layout gets to wide. In full view it should be on the right side instead of under the posts. (blog post page)

    I need something similar to this on blog post pages or pages in general: http://goo.gl/5ogyaA

    Is this something that can be done and is there anyone out there who have time and can help me with this?

    Victor has a tutorial on how to enable sidebars in Atmosphere Pro.

    You'd have to follow similar/identical steps for No Sidebar.

    Thank you @christop! It worked but I desided to just use the after entry widget if that is easier? or if I just could minimize the blog post layout only in wide? Do you know how? site-inner sets the width on everything. I just need a smaler width on full blog post pages.

    This thread should be placed in some sort of hall of fame.

    I think you have right about that! I just need to change the width on single blog posts on no sidebar theme. Do you know how?

    If you understand CSS as you stated and want them more narrow I would increase the padding of .entry-content. If you want them less narrow I would decrease the padding. But, I am not going to pretend I think I know what it is you are trying to accomplish. You will need to be far more specific and link to a page at your site that helps others viewing it better understand.

    First I am really suprised how fast and good responses there are here on studiopress.

    I want to have the blog post (single post) in a narrower width. I mean like the hole page. http://Kreativejobber.no - here is and example on narrower view after clicking one of the posts.

    Thats what I want to do first then the second thing I want to do is to change the header to something like this: http://themebeans.com

    The widget called welcome message is eating up to much space and its made with table and table-cell. I just want to build a new header with description and site title. But I am a bit confused on how I can achive same result as themebeans header. I also want the menu to be the same as them in normal and responsive view.
