so i recommend you backup your template or use a test blog for this example I'm going to use the Minima Template so if you are using a different template the code would be different. The default width of the template header-wrapper code is 660px
(if you don't know what I'm talking about see screenshot below)
So I'm going to set the width of the main header section to 350px and float it to the left see screenshot
now that's done we can create the second section for the right widget so copy the following code
#header2 {
float:right;
width:250px;
}
and paste it some where in between the opening and closing skin tags like Ive done below
next copy the following code for the new section
<b:section class='header' id='header2' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='yes'/>
and paste it like so
now save it and go to the page element tab you should have a new section on the right side of the header here's a screenshot of my result

I've been trying to do this for sooo long!... and I finally found a post of how to do it... but it didn't work. Maybe because my template is a 3 column template and i've customized it a lot... but I really wanna split the header so I can add different gadgets and things to the right side... please take a look at my blog: hey-Gus.com ... and let me know if you know how I can get it to work... please help!!!
