Hi -
Okay, this is what I have right now (partial code) without moving the categories. Everything looks great except the categories are in the center column, of course! Also, my category settings in the ACP are set at table cell = 1 and table width = 100%. By the way, by doing that, you helped me TRULY add polish to the categories.html pages ... and the subcategories because they all list in one column instead of 2 and it looks FANTASTIC!!! (I have to use 100% because otherwise the subcategories display in the categories.html pages display in the 270 px width and that looks horrible. Anyway. ...
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="10" valign="top" nowrap><img src="{template_url}/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="10" height="10" /></td>
<td width="270" class="row2" valign="top">
<table width="270" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
{if random_image}
<tr>
<td class="head2" height="20"> <img src="{template_url}/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="4" height="4" />{lang_random_image}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" class="row2">
<br>
{random_image}
<br>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="tablebgcolor"><img src="{template_url}/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>
</tr>
{endif random_image}
<tr>
<tr>
<td class="tablebgcolor"><img src="{template_url}/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="10" /></td>
</tr>
<td class="tablebgcolor"><img src="{template_url}/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" />
{lang_site_stats}<br />
</td>
<tr>
<td class="tablebgcolor"><img src="{template_url}/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="10" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
Now I move the code as you instruct, cutting it from the center column and pasting it in the sidebar. That doesn't work. It creates a huge gap on the right of the left sidebar. So then I edited more of the table widths, and even the breadcrumb bar, changing everything to 270, as shown below. yes the left sidebar loses the huge gap but it appears way down on the page on the left and the background of the center column now has the color of the background of the entire 4images... dark grey instead of the light blue ...

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<td class="tablebgcolor">

<tr>
<td class="tablebgcolor"><img src="{template_url}/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="10" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="navbar2" height="19">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<td><img src="{template_url}/images/spacer.gif" width="4" height="4" alt="" />{clickstream}</td>
</tr>
</table>

{lang_site_stats}<br />
</td>
{if categories}
<table width="270" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td class="head1">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<td class="head1" valign="top">{lang_categories}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="row2" valign="top">{categories}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
{endif categories}
<tr>
<td class="tablebgcolor"><img src="{template_url}/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="10" /></td>

Thank you so much for looking at this.
