Hello nice Ben, My front blog PAGE (not my Home or my FrontPage) has No Sidebar – as planned, good.
I want my subsequent clickers (ReadMore, Categories, Archives) to have a sidebar that sits on the right side of page.
At present, I can see the sidebar but it’s floating below the page content, not next to it like a proper sidebar.

My front blog page is a Page not a Post, with PageAttribute/Template: Blog And below on BlogListOptions – Display Sidebar? it’s No.

Surely there’s a ‘global’ way to tell the clickers (ReadMore, Categories and Archives) to display the sidebar and let it sit on the right.

Still would like to learn how to tell which page calls which template. (Plus whether I’d get into trouble if I attempt to edit those template php files.) I would think ReadMore is single.php, Archives is archive.php

But when I’m looking at such pages, in Firebug they seem to be using ‘Default’ I can see the Aside tag inside the Row div. And I see a style coming from my Child Style where I wanted to control the spacing on a certain page, House Rules, .page-id-8 That page uses the Default template.

Why would my style marked .page-id-8 affect the style on a Post, p=103 for example.?

Is there a ‘global’ way to style posts to display the sidebar? I hope I don’t have to edit them one at a time.
