# Right Column Width Size

 * I am new to this and am setting up [http://www.aimlow.com](http://www.aimlow.com)
   
   I am using the Kirby Theme. I set up the Widget area on the right side of the
   page. I put AdSense Code in the Text Widget. The widget width is not wide enough
   to display the full ad so half gets cut off…
 * Am i doing this in the best way?
 * Is there a way I can make the right column wider to fit the whole ad?
    I am not
   a coder and have poked around trying my best to figure this out. TIA, Rob

 * **make a backup copy of your theme files before editing**
 * try, and edit 2c-r.css:
 *     ```
       #container {
       	float: left;
       	margin: 0 -300px 0 0; /*was 240px */
       	width: 100%;
       }
       #content {
       	margin: 0 320px 0 20px;
       }
       #primary,
       #secondary {
       	float: right;
       	position: relative;
       	overflow: hidden;
       	width: 300px; /*was 220px */
       }
       ```

 * Thanks… that almost worked… it made the column wider, but it also sent it to 
   lower on the page beneath the posts. I’ll leave it up for a while if you have
   a chance to look at it

 * well done,
 * just saw (in IE7) that longer post titles can intrude into the sidebar, now that
   the gap is narrower:
 * edit style.css and add a max-width:
 *     ```
       .entry-title {
       	color: #000; max-width:600px;
       	font-size: 21px;
       	font-weight: bold;
       }
       ```
