>> I tried adding some padding here:<<
Yes you did. The sidebar looks pretty now, all lined up neatly a few pxs away from the left margin. I guess what I did wrong was to add the margin and padding to the container. I should have added it to the font. h2 and h4. Well it did the job. Thanks.
Sorry I was late replying. I've been to the county fair today--looking at the pigs among other things.

Just kidding, Adam. There's nothing out there, just a bunch of 0s and 1s. 
Now do whatever Hal tells you......

I would like help placing text where I want.
1. Using an <aside> with left justified text, I haven't found any way (yet) of keeping the left justified text a pixel or two from the left edge. padding-left and margin-left, don't seem to help.
2. Placing captions under a row of images seems hard too. Applying <figure> to an image causes that particular image to occupy a line all by itself. Declaring it as inline hasn't helped so far.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
