 * Hi there,
 * Love this, but I can’t quite get it to work for me.
 * Here is the [site](http://www.abeano.com)
 * The widgets are at the bottom. I can only get two of the widgets to change width,
   the archives and the search. The ‘Label’ section refuses to budge (I would ideally
   like the whole thing to be centered under the thumbnails).
 * I’ve added this code to the css area but to no avail –
 * > .element_of_4.responsive_column_widgets_column_2 { width: 100.8% }
 * Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
 * Thanks in advance!!

 * In your case, it’s better to use the col span feature rather than modifying CSS.
 * You have three columns in one row, which is the default setting.
 * Now set
 * `1-3`
 * in the Column Spans option. This makes the first item have three column spans.
 * Hope this helps.

 * Hi Miunisoft,
    Thanks for getting back to me.
 * I tried adding 1-3 to the column span but nothing happened. I’m going crazy :-/

 * Since your body tag has `min-width: 900px`, maybe this is what you want,
 * `.responsive_column_widgets { max-width: 900px; }`
 * If not, I need to get more precise information what you want to achieve.
 * For instance,
 * > The ‘Label’ section refuses to budge (I would ideally like the whole thing 
   > to be centered under the thumbnails).
 * I need to know what the whole thing refers to.
 * Also you would need to remove previously added custom CSS rules for the plugin
   if you have not.

 * I’d like Label, archives, and the search to sit center underneath the thumnails
   on the front page. At the moment I can only style archives and the search.
 * I tried adding .responsive_column_widgets { max-width: 900px; }
    but everything
   shifted to the left.
 * Also, would I have to remove all CSS, even ones styling the text?

 * I really don’t get what you are trying to achieve. If you don’t need columns,
   just set `1` for the Columns option.
 * > Also, would I have to remove all CSS, even ones styling the text?
 * It is recommended to start from the beginning as you seem to have messed up the
   style of the plugin. To be clear, remove the CSS rules you added to modify the
   plugin’s layout, not the theme’s.

 * I’ve mocked it up in photoshop to illustrate what I mean: [http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t592/Katie_Coleslaw/ScreenShot2013-08-27at194615_zpsde34a193.jpg](http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t592/Katie_Coleslaw/ScreenShot2013-08-27at194615_zpsde34a193.jpg)

 * I see.
 * Maybe this works
 *     ```
       .responsive_column_widgets .responsive_column_widgets_box { max-width: 900px }
       .responsive_column_widgets_column { text-align: center; }
       ```
   
 * or
 *     ```
       .responsive_column_widgets .responsive_column_widgets_box { max-width: 900px }
       .responsive_column_widgets_column {
       	margin-left: auto;
       	margin-right: auto;
       }
       ```
