How to Make a Blog Become Three Column Sidebar
1. Go to Template> Edit HTML2. Search for:

    
# Sidebar-wrapper {
    
width: 220px;
    
float: $ endSide;
    
word-wrap: break-word; / * fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE * /
    
overflow: hidden; / * fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar
    
float * /
    
}
and replace the float to be:

    
float: right;
3. Under it add:

    
# Left-sidebar-wrap {
    
width: 220px;
    
float: left;
    
word-wrap: break-word;
    
overflow: hidden;
    
}
"Float: left" will make you are new left sidebar. Thus you will have a sidebar on the left of your blog template.

4. Find and change the width of the outer-wrapper to 900px or more to avoid overlap with the main sidebar-wrapper.

    
# Outer-wrapper {
    
width: 660px;
    
margin: 0 auto;
    
padding: 10px;
    
text-align: $ startSide;
    
font: $ bodyfont;
    
}

 
5. Search # main-wrapper and replace with:

    
# Main-wrapper {

margin: 0 20px;
    
word-wrap: break-word; / * fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE * /
    
overflow: hidden; / * fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float * /
    
}
Here's the margin to the left and to the right 20px added to avoid overlap with the main sidebar wrapper. You can change it according to overcome the problem of overlap on the sidebar. 
6. Put the following code:

    
<div id='main-wrapper'>
Just before this code:

    
<div id='left-sidebar-wrap'>
    
<b:section class='sidebar' id='left-sidebar' preferred='yes'/>
    
</ Div>

There are also web has to go through several layers of links to get to other pages.2) Navigation pages are too complicated, so confusing visitors.3) Home website does not explain the main topics of the website. If you sell a product, it is not clear what the product or service being sold. Presented just pretty pictures, but do not make the visitor understand. Drawing more than the sales copy.4) The biggest problem, the website takes a very long time for loading. Every move pages, visitors have to wait long for a web page can be displayed perfectly.Mick Donald gave an example, Marcus Friend of www.plentyoffish.com. He has a website about "dating" very successful. However, if a visit to the website, you will see a website that looks mediocre. No sophisticated graphics. Maybe you rate the website an ugly website. But the fact Mark obtained tens of thousands of dollars per month just from Google AdSense alone.One website Corey Rudl (founder marketingtips.com), ie www.CarSecrets.com, looks simple but bring tens of thousands of dollars a month by selling ebook "Car Secrets" without the need for a powerful website design.Maybe you've seen the website of the online business gurus like Mike Filsaime, Brad Callen, Ken Evoy, Ewen Chia, Rosalind Gardner and Perry Marshal? Everything is simple. But the message is very clear and not confusing to navigate.Then, what is the secret websites "ugly" is?The main characteristics of a successful website is to have high traffic relevant.So what website do pretty / ugly with traffic?Internet, in addition to be considered as a communication network, it is also the food of the "robots" from the search engine.

So, so visitors feel more comfortable, blog owners do not need to install the widget monitors IP addresses of visitors

2. Font is too small and lacking in contrast colorStill related to the eye, the font size is too small especially with less color contrast with the background also can make people feel uncomfortable.
