http://totalphysiqueonline.com/ is my primary site.

I decided to create a play-blog that I could use to experiment with different templates. I stumbled across a 2 column site that, while I would have preferred it be a 3 column site, struck my fancy as looking nice.

I am customizing it (children pages) and eventually changing the logo image, but for now one thing is bugging me: it's the archives.php page.

If you go to the new theme for TPO above, and click the archives page, you will notice that while the archives list is formatted, it is not properly positioned. I want to move it a bit lower, and more toward the center of the content section.

The Archives list is surrounded by a div tag set to class="archives" Here is the style as found in my style.css:

#archives ul{

display:block;

margin:140px auto auto 140px;

padding:5px 4px 4px 10px;

position:absolute;

text-transform: capitalize;

width:140px;

}


The tags in archives.php look like this:

<div id="content">
<div id="page">
<div class="archives">
<h2 id="months"><?php _e('Archives by Month:'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>
<h2 id="categories"><?php _e('Archives by Category:'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats(); ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit this entry.'), '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
</div>

No matter what I do, I cannot shift the archives using the above style. I am pretty tired, so I am sure I am missing something, and I need some fresh eyes.

Thanks

PS: how does one post PHP code in the forums?

<div id="content">
<div id="page">
<div class="archives">
<h2 id="months"><?php _e('Archives by Month:'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>
<h2 id="categories"><?php _e('Archives by Category:'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats(); ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit this entry.'), '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
</div>

I'm not quite sure if I understand what you are asking. Where exactly do you want the list to be?

http://cfcure.com/wordpress/home/

If you look here, you will notice that the word HOME is flush with the words RECENT POSTS.

Archives scoot upward a bit and over to the left a tad. Leaves too much empty space.

Oh... I understand what you are talking about now. I'll go check it out.

Have you tried you can try adjusting the margin for #months?

By the way, what misled me at first was that you showed the css for #archives ul which I don't think really pertains to what you are trying to accomplish.

<h2 id="months"><?php _e('Archives by Month:'); ?></h2>
^^ That is what I was talking about. Perhaps you could try creating a style for it.

#archives ul{

display:block;

margin:140px auto auto 140px;

padding:5px 4px 4px 10px;

position:absolute;

text-transform: capitalize;

width:140px;

}
^^ This is only for the unordered list.

Since the problem is not within the list itself, why don't you try simply applying style to #archives?

I had an asthma attack. I am OK, but it woke me up, so now I am trying ot breath again.

As for applying style to #archives, I am confused. #archives is inside my style sheet already.

What do you mean?
