I'm trying to re-arrange the layout on the default theme and need some help. Where it says "Subscribe to my blog using RSS" (sidebar.php?), I'd like to move that underneath where posts go.
I'd also like to extend both posts and side bar to take up the whole width of the screen.
You should modify style.css for that and modify widths of different elements.
thanks, any suggestions on what I would have to change to get the desired output? Would it be just style.css that I would have to change or would I have to re-arrange the div tags?
Yes. You will need to bring the subscribe part below the content. You can arrange that in the index.php file.
At the very end of index.php I've tried a couple of different things with no luck. Here is what I have now:
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar.php'); ?>
<br clear="all" />
<?php get_footer(); ?>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
How would I change the div tags in the default template to get the desired results?
BTW - I'm using an application called goodpage to change the div tages. One pro about the application is that it allows you to view the layout of the code, structure and browser using php code. I was able to create a one page basic template that shows how the div tages all come together. My problem is that it in goodpage the tags look right in the browser, but when I make the changes live it dosen't work.

It seems like the code above should work, but the change I see on my computer isn't reflected when I make the change on-line. Is there something I'm missing with the php code?
is no one able to guide me?
