    Good Morning,
    Is it possible to increase the height of the header/sidebar (not sure which term to give it) on Wintersong - essentially the area that runs down the left hand side of the site. The url that I'm working on is http://www.lisazlindahlonbeauty.com/. We would like to show more information along the left hand side but there seems to be a size limit.

    Is is possible to increase the size of this space (height) and how do I do that?

    Thanks,
    Barb

    Hi Barb,

    I think the header/sidebar (I'm also not sure what to call it!) in that theme is meant to be very short. However, you can at least make it easier to view the whole thing by removing position: fixed; from the CSS for site header (style.css, line 747). That way, when you scroll down the page, you can see the bottom part of the header/sidebar. The tradeoff is that the header/sidebar won't stay stuck to the top of the page as you scroll down the posts in the main column.

    Let me know if you wanted to approach it a different way, and I can try to help.

    Jamie
