I am using Atahualpa for the first time. I am also fairy new to html/css. I am trying to make a website that looks something like this: http://caslynn.com/mockup.jpg

I have tried playing around in the theme options but am not figuring out how to do this. I am currently trying to make the main content area, navigation area, header, and footer area "float" on top of the background with space in between. Is there a more technical term for this? I was trying to search online and on this forum, but don't know what to call this "floating" look.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks STB. At least I know the beast's name now!

I found this post: http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...ght=css+insert
but am trying to copy the solution and it isn't working for me.

The site from that post, http://www.thetimblog.com/?p=18
has an example of what I am looking for (except I would want my sidebars to be solid instead of semi-transparent, and I would also like it to end instead of continue to the bottom of the page)
