You can edit the _main.php file of the skin you're using. Cut the code for that block out and paste it where you want it to be.

kamiru,
If you post a link to your blog and/or tell us what skin you're using, we can have a better chance to tell you exactly what code to look for and where to put it.

Thanks for the link. Do you want to move the entire sidebar to the left side, or just move some of the blocks to the left and leave some on the right? That would give you a 3 column skin instead of 2. That's a fairly major change, but it's possible.

i think what i want is to move only one block to the left, and leave the rest of those on the right hand side.

how can i do that?

Kamiru,

Creating a third column isn't going to be a simple change. You'll have to move the code around in your _main.php and fix up the css to make it all work. And since your skin is a fixed-width skin, you're going to run out of space. I recommend that you do one of these things:

a) Read up on css and xhtml to understand how to make the change and make it look how you want, or

b) Look through skins.b2evolution.net for a 3-column skin that you can use, and modify that to look how you want.

Yes, exactly. Install that on your blog and then you can modify that to make it look just how you want.
