I just looked at the gle-layout-3col-html5-styles.css file, and couldn't make heads or tails of it. I saw numbers that didn't seem to add up to 100%, and edits I made to the file didn't have any affects when I reloaded the page to which they should be applied.

Here's the part I think is relevant:

/* Sidebar/Content/Sidebar-Alt */
.sidebar-content-sidebaralt .sidebar-primary {
	float: left;
	margin-right: 2%;
	width: 29%;
}

.sidebar-content-sidebaralt .content-sidebar-wrap {
	float: right;
	width: 68%;
}

.sidebar-content-sidebaralt .content {
	float: left;
	margin-left: 1%;
	width: 69%;
}

.sidebar-content-sidebaralt .sidebar-secondary {
	float: right;
	width: 25%;
}

Any suggestions?

Thanks again, Carasmo. By the way, in case it would become necessary, do you happen to provide Genesis/theme support on a freelance basis?

Well, drat — Now that, with your help, I've gotten the plugin to work, I've discovered that the three-column layout increases the width of the primary sidebar. So my wish-list for the plugin would include managing the percentage widths of the three columns. 🙂

Hi Carasmo — well, that did the trick! Since those were optional, I didn't select them. It would seem that if the layouts don't work otherwise, they should be required? Thanks again!

I think I've solved the Flickr image width problem by using this:

[embed width=maxwidth]{flickr_url}[/embed]

...instead of this...

[embed]{flickr_url}[/embed]

Hello Carasmo,

Thanks for the help. Here are some follow-on comments:

1. Regarding my desire to switch primary/secondary sidebar positions in a three-column layout, I read the article and installed the recommended Genesis Layout Options plugin, which does seem to offer a layout corresponding to what I need. However, selecting that layout resulted in the primary/secondary sidebars appearing _on top of each other_. I posted a screenshot in a reply to that thread.

2. I added the first CSS you suggested, and indeed it displayed the images full-width. However, as you suspected, the images appear pixelated. I'm referring to the images in post using the oEmbed method, e.g. [embed]{flickr_url}[/embed]. For some reason, in the eleven40 theme, Flickr is delivery smaller images than what get delivers in the standard WP theme.

Thanks again.

My goal is to switch the primary and secondary columns in the three-column layout, such that the primary column is on the left. I installed this plugin, and chose the S/C/SAlt layout, and the result was that both the Primary and Secondary widgets appeared _on top of each other_ in the left-hand column:

Any ideas why this could be happening?
