title: Content hiding behind left side menu
body: <p>The content of my webpage is going behind the side menu I have positioned to the left.I want the menu to be fixed however whenever I do so the content hides behind the menu to the left. Any help would be much appreciated. (Apologies for formatting, new to the site.) </p>
  
  <p>.menu {</p>
  
  <pre><code>padding-top: 150px;
