Balena Theme - Adjusting sidebar width (5 posts)

    I'm trying to adjust the right sidebar length to accommodate adsense Ads (300x250) but the sidebar is just under 300.

    I tried adjusting in the style.css under:

    /* The Sidebar */

    .sidebar{

    float:left;
    }

    .sidebox{
    width:290px;
    margin:0px 0px 10px 0px;
    background:url(images/side.png) repeat-y;

    I changed width to 300 but nothing happened.
    I'm clearly not to savvy - help please?
    Thanks

    Your sidebar background image is 290px wide and set to repeat: y, so if you make the sidebar wider, it will run out of background. You can change the width here:

    .right {
        display: inline;
        float: right;
        overflow: hidden;
        padding: 0 0 0 0;
        width: 290px;
    }

    style.css (line 729)

    You don't have a div with the class .sibebar so that is why changing it there doesn't do anything. You should probably be using a div ID rather than a class for your sidebar as well.
