Blog right side element order

My pernickety client doesn't line the layout of the blog side bar wanting it to be top to bottom Categories, Archive, RSS links

I tried doing this in CSS but though the CSS below works OK it has the side effect of losing the footer positioning in the category list view, can anyone improve on the CSS below? Joe are you considering making the right column more configurable in future blog module updates?

/*failed attempt to reorder right blog column - works but messes up the category list display and will need adjusting as category and archive lists grow*/
/*
.bcatlist
{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
}
div.blognavright div h3
{
margin: 0px 0px -10px 30px;
}
.blognav
{
position: relative;
top: 450px;
}
.bcatlist .blognav
{
position: relative;
top: 0px;
}
.barchivelist
{
position: absolute;
top: 270px;
}

.barchivelist > ul.blognav
{
position: relative;
top: 0px;
}
*/

Re: Blog right side element order

Hi John,

From what you are saying it sounds like really you just want to move the RSS links to the bottom, since after that it already goes Categories and then Archives.

I'll consider an option for that but it could currently be achieved by copying the markup from the feed link, and put it in lower side bar content in the settings and uncheck the box to show the feed link. That would remove the feed link from the top and put it at the bottom using custom markup.

Best,

Joe

Doh! - why did I not think of that! Sometimes the solution is so obvious I can't see it.

Thanks Joe - Fantastic support as usual.
