I think my issue isn't within the WP theme I'm using. I have read extensively the FYI here. I even set up a wpg2.css file, that is working great. I can see the changes instantly. Here's the site
The one thing I can't seem to adjust is the following illustration:

The text on the side while in the admin area bleeds over into the content area.
I've gone into the gallery admin area, and I have selected our theme.

The words in the sidebar: Add Album Add Comment Add Items Edit Album Edit Captions Edit Permissions Rearrange Items Reorder Items View Latest Comments View Slideshow don't seem to wrap within the sidebar size.

I've also tried editing the theme's theme.tpl file as well. I think that this may be my problem; but I'm at a loss... Where else can I look to solve this issue?

Thanks!

this is an update... hopefully, it'll benefit others to learn from my continued mistakes!

I finally figured out how to get rid of the logo, completely. Climbingmonkey pointed me to the template theme's theme.tpl file to look for this code:

<div id="gsHeader">
<a href="{g->url}"><img src="{g->url href="images/galleryLogo_sm.gif"}"
width="107" height="48" alt=""/></a>
</div>

When I started going through the many albums, I recognized that there were many different themes applied on different albums, so I went though each them, looking for the above code, and deleting it. That solved that problem.

The next thing was effectively getting the inbedded gallery2 to replace the sidebar and content area completely. I'm sad to say that I got it to work last week; but after noticing that something had whacked up my posts page, to where no posts were showing up, I started going through the code, and inadvertently messed up my gallery2... again. I used the "Theme optimization guide" found here. This is actually a very good resource; but a little tricky, depending on the theme you use.

So currently, the gallery2 is looking great; but it isn't lining up with the nav buttons properly. I even started using a copy of the style.css called wpg2.css to make sure I didn't mess up the original style.css file. Perhaps this is the problem?

This is real finicky system... I do wish it was a little easier to isolate problems.

We wish as well.. This is the power and the downside of CSS. I do find that tools like the Firefox firebug really help in solving a number of CSS issues..
