how to make sidebar?

How do i make a sidebar background color?

• With the 20-11 theme i would like to make the sidebar one long color. I have no idea how long my page are and i need the sidebar height to be the same as the post height. Right now when i do #secondary { background-color: green; } the green is only as long as it needs to be so it is extremely short. How do i get it all the way down?

• Answer:

  The simplest way to create the solid color side bar is with this CSS: #branding { background-color: #ffffff; } #page { background: #ffffff url(path_to_image) repeat-y; } Replace #ffffff with the appropriate color used in your template (if they are different). The "path_to_image" would need to be pointed to an image file that is 1000px wide and 1px high. The image itself would contain the sidebar color starting about 800px from the left.
