I want to widen the post area for this website and while I have had a look and tried changing one piece of code, it didn't seem to make it change size. This is the site: I Married A Fat Bitch Blog Archive Whats the Best Weight Loss Diet Pills? If you see how the ebay listings could do with the post area being wider. That is the area I would like to widen but I don't know where in the style sheet to find the code that relates to that. I did see this:

.narrowcolumn {
float: left;
padding: 0 0 20px 45px;
margin: 0px 0 0;
width: 850px;
}

and altered it to, width 950px, but I couldn't see any change, so I thought it best to ask for expert advice

Your help with this will be very much appreciated

Cheers
Viv

    G`day Viv,

    just had a quick look, this should be what you
    need to look for and tweak in the style.css ...


    #main{

    width:800px;

    padding-top:10px;
    }

    #left_nav{

    width:200px;

    float:left;
    }



    #main_content{

    width:400px;

    float:left;
    }

    #right_nav{

    width:200px;

    float:left

    }

    By the looks you`ll probably need to make #main 900
    and make the #main_content 500 ... doing that means
    there are other widths that will need adjusting also...
    things like the header width etc.

    Best if you keep an original copy of your css as is now,
    if you need someone to do this for you I`m available.

    It`s a good way to learn tho by doing it yourself ...

    P.S. I imagine it`s a feed showing the Ebay
    stuff, any adjustments possible with that?

      How's it going me old Ozzie mate!

      Love the avatar! Are you one of the more beautiful occas???

      Thanks for the help, by the way

      Yes it is a feed from Ebay and no I don't believe there is the opportunity to alter things. But I am pretty green at all of this, so you never know :p

      I have taken a copy of the style sheet, it went on forever, don't know why it has to be so spread out :confused:

      I will go and alter what you have been so kind to point out to me and see what happens. If it doesn't do the trick, I will gladly take up your offer, of help. I will PM you if I need it

      Cheers

        Well that has given an interesting result, not quite the one I hoped for :confused: but it certainly moved things

        I think this may be beyond my capabilities but I have at least learned something new, and that is the code words used to associate the 'content' and 'main' part of the page, so that's all good for me!

        I will PM you, I think

        Speak to you soon, YiKeS
