I got it now. I just changed the wrap and content wrap variables ??

I have tried changing the width of both blue and green but they only seem to extend towards the middle but not the outside.

Here’s the style sheet. If anybody can pinpoint the exact line that needs to be changed that would be great.

Thanks!

Hi Shane.

I have done that but when I extend width it only goes towards the middle direction and not the outside. The blue extends to the right and green extends to the left. I want them to do the opposite.

I tried playing around with the padding px numbers but they didn’t seem to change anything. I might be changing the wrong padding for the wrong column since there’s so many. Is there a way for me to pinpoint the code that affects those two columns?

Thanks a lot

anyone?

Great, thanks again!

Another question.. seeing as how the text widget can do HTML. Can I throw a visitor tracker in there?

Ahh. I never knew the text widget did HTML.. I should have read the description underneath. This makes everything much easier, thanks a lot bledsoe!

anyone?

Thanks a lot for your help, it’s working perfectly now ??
