New K2 style

I was playing with styles in the K2 theme I am using. I came across blackboard which I think looks quite nice. Everything worked fine except the sidebar (to the right) that kept appearing at the bottom of the page (but still over to the right) below the last post. I was able to fix it by changing the blackboard css so that the margin property in the following 

.secondary {
  font-size: 1em;
  line-height: 1.5em;
  padding: 10px 0;
  margin: 0 0 20px 71%;
  width: 26%;
  color: #666;
  position: relative;
  }

looked like this

margin: 0 0 20px 0%;

Now this is the first time that I have played with CSS so apart from the fact that this is changing the margin-left value I don’t really understand what I did.

Installing wordpress from subversion

I changed my wordpress install so that it is installed direct from subversion today. It works very well and is a really neat idea. I am going to try the same approach with other software.
