I was searching for CSS customizations and I came across Aaron Meyers page with a ton of great customizations, but the thing that really caught my eye is how his menu/nav bar is on the side of his page, how is this done? Is there a tutorial someplace? Thanks to everyone!

    I started with the "Arrow" design, which has the sidebar already placed on the left, and used the "Menu" Content block, set to a "Vertical Bar" to achieve that. If you don't want to start a new design you can:

    1. Click "Customize" and then "Content and Design"
    2. Make sure you're on "Entire Site"
    3. Choose the "Layout" tab.
    4. Under "Margins", set the Side Margin to whatever you desire (I set mine to 25px)
    5. Under "Sidebars", set "Left" to ON (I set mine to 225px wide)
    6. Click on the "Content" tab
    7. Under "Navigation", drag/drop a "Menu" content block into the new left sidebar.
    8. Customize your menu as you'd like
    9. Publish

    I just installed 'Arrow' and followed the instructions and there was no space to the left. He forgot to add the Margins. So go to 'Entire Site > Layout > Margins'. Set the side margins to suit.

    If you need more help, you'll need to post your site.
