    Hi,

    I’m looking to increase the width of the right sidebar on my site http://www.trainstomanchester.co.uk so that I can incorporate the 300×250 sized search box into it.

    I’ve seen others asking similar questions in the forum but I can’t seem to be able to locate the right area to make the changes and apply it to the site.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    looks like your right sidebar is set to 283 px

    go to your style sheet and find this i.d.

    .column-right {
    float: right;
    margin: 0 0 0 30px;
    width: 283px;

    adjust your width and note the changes; you dont want it to throw off anything else. you should download firebug so you can view your code, make adjustments in real time and see how it looks before you make the changes.

    have at it!

    Thanks for your response.

    I’ve already had a go at amending that width but nothing seemed to happen, do you have any ideas why that could be?

    I’ve been reading that I’d also need to change the main column as well and keep the same total but that didn’t seem to change anything either but im not completely sure I changed the right part.

    Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS work.
