 * I want my sidebar image widget to fit into dimensions properly.
    Looking at CSS
   files? I cant see anything suggest width or pixels? But I know my template is
   max 1200 px wide. I have main content space (width?) and a column for widgets
   Left space(width?)
 * If someone can tell me width of the widget, I just use and keep it the original
   size.

 * You can easily find that info by using a browser tool like Firebug or Chrome 
   Developer Tools to look at the rendered page – and the relevant CSS. “Inspect
   Element” will show you all the CSS for that element.

 * BTW, if you are making any changes to the theme files, be sure you are using 
   a child theme
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * Otherwise your changes will be lost when the theme is updated.

 * Read the link I posted about Child Themes – they are a way to make changes to
   a theme files (not theme settings and options) without losing the changes when
   the theme is updated. If you are doing anything in the Editor (i.e. theme templates
   or style.css for the theme), you should be using a child theme. Theme files are
   replaced when the theme is updated and it’s important to do updates for security
   and compatibility reasons.
