Widget placement

Flyingpig7 · 03-20-2009, 06:14 AM

Hi All,

I have just started doing a wordpress blog, got as far as uploading a theme in my site, the problem is I want to place an amazon shopping widget and put in the content area as you can see it is not exact..
Url:Wii-Virtual-Console-games.info

I do know a little basic html & css I have been trying to modify the stylesheet thinking that was where the adjustment should be to accomodate the widget. Am I looking in the right direction?
Please can somebody advise me as this looks so simple yet it mucks up the really nice theme design. I guess this happens a lot when we choose free themes. I might have to buy Wordpress for dummies might save me a few hours of hair pulling!

All help is much appreciated
thanks
Keren

Code:

<p><iframe src="http://rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk/e/cm?t=wiivircongam-21&o=2&p=36&l=st1&mode=video-games-uk&search=nintendo%20Wii&fc1=000000&lt1=&lc1=3366FF&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="600" height="526" border="0" frameborder="0" style="border:none;" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>

This is the line where your widget is being created.

If you edit the <p> tag to look like this...

Code:

<p style="margin-left: -40px;">

It should be about centered in your box.

You might need to add or remove a few px in order to get it centered perfectly though.

Hello scheda,

Many thanks that works perfectly first time. I had just about given up having revised my html & css in the last 24 hrs. I really thought I would have to change the theme or the widget. Many many thanks Scheda.

regards
