hello,
is it possible to create a 3px space between the left sidebar and centre column? if not then how can i go about it? i am thinking perhaps one of the ways is to set the border and text padding in the centre area 3px to the left, so it looks like space. but how do i do that? Cheers

the easiest way is to use the left inner sidebar with nothing in it. Set it's size to what you want then display it on all pages and you will have the spacing you want (ATO->Style & configure SIDEBARS)

a yes clever! thanks so much!
