 * I can’t get the column padding to work… is there a way I can manually enter the
   desired padding into the shortcode?
 * When I use the padding option and then select the column width, It’s exactly 
   the same as without padding…
 * Thanks,
    -Tim

 * You cannot add the padding to your short-code. All you can do is enter some custom-
   css in the custom-css box of your theme.
    You can easily overwrite the existing
   stylesheet.
 * > For example you would like to add a margin between your columns, you just place
   > the following in your theme’s style.css:
 * `
    .one_half { width: 49% !important; margin-right: 2% !important; } .one_half.
   last_column { width: 49% !important; margin-right: 0px !important; } .one_third{
   width: 32% !important; margin-right: 2% !important; } .one_third.last_column {
   width: 32% !important; margin-right: 0px !important; } .two_third { width: 66%!
   important; margin-right: 2% !important; } .two_third.last_column { width: 66%!
   important; margin-right: 0px !important; } .one_fourth { width: 23.5% !important;
   margin-right: 2% !important; } .one_fourth.last_column { width: 23.5% !important;
   margin-right: 0px !important; } .three_fourth { width: 74.5% !important; margin-
   right: 2% !important; } .three_fourth.last_column { width: 74.5% !important; 
   margin-right: 0px !important; } .one_fifth { width: 18.4% !important; margin-
   right: 2% !important; } .one_fifth.last_column { width: 18.4% !important; margin-
   right: 0px !important; } .two_fifth { width: 39% !important; margin-right: 2%!
   important; } .two_fifth.last_column { width: 39% !important; margin-right: 0px!
   important; } .three_fifth { width: 59% !important; margin-right: 2% !important;}.
   three_fifth.last_column { width: 59% !important; margin-right: 0px !important;}.
   four_fifth { width: 79.6% !important; margin-right: 2% !important; } .four_fifth.
   last_column { width: 79.6% !important; margin-right: 0px !important; } .one_sixth{
   width: 15% !important; margin-right: 2% !important; } .one_sixth.last_column {

 * Hi Tim,
 * your shortcode should look something like this after adding a column with padding:
 * [one_half padding=”20px 20px 20px 20px”>content[/one_half]
