 * I need to change my column widths so I can accomodate a BlogTalkRadio icon. Can
   someone walk me through this process and/or give me coding that I can include?

 * if i was in your shoes i would start with looking at your style.css in your Dialogue
   Theme folder. the css file tells your theme how to display your pages. so, if
   you open the style.css in a text editor and locate #sidebar you can change the
   way your sidebar displays. find where it states width : 165px; and change that
   width (make it larger) so that it will fit your embedded blogtalkradio.
 * i glanced at the code for the blogtalkradio icon on your site and it said width
   =”215.” so you probably want your sidebar around that size.
 * this is probably going to change all of your sidebar dimensions so i don’t know
   if this is what you want.
 * just in case what happens isn’t what you want, simply change the width back to
   165 and hopefully someone else can help you out.
