Problem with blog columns

[champ_rock]

hi..my blog id is *jakshay.blogsome.com/

now what i am trying to do is to make that 2 column template into a 3 column one.. for that i refered to this article *webdesign.about.com/od/css/a/aa102102a.htm for css help...

now when i look up my template html code i am not able to find any such thing

#leftnavigation {
  position : absolute;
  left : 0;
  width : 150px;
  margin-left : 10px;
  margin-top : 20px;
  color : #000000;
  padding : 3px;
}
#rightnavigation {
  position : absolute;
  left : 80%;
  top : 20px;
  width : 140px;
  padding-left : 10px;
  z-index : 3;
  color : #000000;
  padding : 3px;
}

Then for the content row, I set the margins to be somewhat relative to the outer columns.
#content {
  top : 0px;
  margin : 0px 25% 0 165px;
  padding : 3px;
  color : #000000;
}

please tell me how can i add a left hand side column

I don't have much idea on it but, try these themes -
*www.wordpresstheme.com/themes/theme-tiga/
*www.wordpresstheme.com/themes/theme-wp-andreas09/

and try out their php files for help as they are 3 column themes.

Your css code is located in
*jakshay.blogsome.com/templates/wp-layout.css
I think you can directly edit it but I am not sure as I've never done it in wordpress.
Or you can always delete the reference to that external css link and copy-paste the css into your webpage (will increase the size of every webpage). Now you can edit your css to a three column design.

well tell me what you really wanna do , if you want to have two menus instead on one ( mean one on left , another on right ) then it's easy .

To add a side bar on the left add this into your main template :

ps: you can edit it to make a new menu :

<div id="leftbar">
        <h2>Links:</h2>
        <ul>
          <li><a href='*www.blogsome.com'>Blogsome</a></li>

<li><a href='*blogsome-forum.blogsome.com'>Blogsome Forums</a></li>

        </ul>
	
        <h2>Categories:</h2>
        <ul>
          	<li><a href="*jakshay.blogsome.com/category/" title="View all posts filed under Uncategorized">Uncategorized</a>
</li>

        </ul>

	
        <h2>Search: </h2><form id="searchform" method="POST" action="">
          <div><input type="text" name="s" size="15" /><br />
          <input type="submit" name="submit" value="search" />
          </div></form>
        </li></ul>
	
        <h2>Archives:</h2>
        <ul>
           	<li><a href='*jakshay.blogsome.com/2006/07/' title='July 2006'>July 2006</a></li>

        </ul>
	
	<ul><li>

add this to your css file :

#leftbar {
	margin: 0;
	width: 180px;
	padding: 10px 10px 0 0px;
	float:left;
	display:inline;	
	font-family : verdana, tahoma, arial, serif;	
}

html>body #leftbar {
	width: 180px;
}

#leftbar h2 {
	margin: 0;
	padding:5px;
	font-size: 1em;
	color: #333;
	font-weight: normal;	
	background:transparent url('/wp-inst/wp-content/sitetemplates/ShadedGrey/img/sidetitle.png') repeat-x top center;
}
#leftbar ul {
	list-style-type: none;
	padding: 0 0 1em 5px;
	margin: 0;	
}
#leftbar ul li {
	margin: 0.5em 0 0 0;
	padding: 0;
	font-size: 0.76em;
}
#leftbar li a:link, #leftbar li a:visited {
	color: #999;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #ebebeb;
	text-decoration: none;
