There are probably over 1000 free WordPress blog themes/templates out there. Yet, I still get people who write and ask me to help them design their own. And that’s cool.

I’m trying to move the side bar in a wordpress theme and found your site, saw the video tutorial and thought to my self, “instant bookmark”. Sadly, the link appears to be dead. I’d be very curious to see the tutorial if you get the link working again.
Thanks for you help.
