 * I use eleven40(Genesis child theme) theme on my blog. I wish to place a 300×600
   ad in the primary sidebar of the blog. But, the size of the sidebar is a little
   bit smaller than the ad size. I tried to edit it by increasing and decreasing
   the border margin of the siderbar. Bur it is getting messy when I increased it.
   It is overlapping the post area.
    Check out the Blog [here](http://www.fussedblogger.com)
   and let me know how can I get extended space in siderbar to place a 300×600 ad.
 * Thanks.

 * HI Manoj,
 * You can put this code into your custom css:
 *     ```
       .sidebar {
       	width: 310px !important;
       }
   
       .content-sidebar #content,
       .sidebar-content #content {
       	width: 780px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * if you don’t have any custom css file, then you can install [this plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pc-custom-css/)
