   How do I get specific text to span a specific width on a page? i.e.
   Main text:
   kdkfdkfj;akdjf;akdjf;ldkj;ldkj;lakdj;flkj;lkdja;lkdjf;lkdj;lakj;dlfkja;
   ljk;ldkj;faldkj;lakdjf;lkdja;lkdj;alkdjf;lkdja;ldkjkfd;alkdj;flkja;ldkj
   jdalkjd;lkajd;lkdjad dalkdjf;ad;alkdjf;lkja;ldkjfa

   Spanned text:
   thke;akdjfkd;kadfk;dka
   fdjalkdjfdlkjf dj;djf
   lkjdkflkdakdjd;kakfj
   ;lkfjdkajdkjfdkjfdkj;f
   ;dkjfdkjadkjfdkajd;fk
   akdjkfkdajkd;kdjf;dkk

   Main text:
   kdkfdkfj;akdjf;akdjf;ldkj;ldkj;lakdj;flkj;lkdja;lkdjf;lkdj;lakj;dlfkja;
   ljk;ldkj;faldkj;lakdjf;lkdja;lkdj;alkdjf;lkdja;ldkjkfd;alkdj;flkja;ldkj

   This is a CSS issue in all likelihood. Post a link to specific post or page and we may be able to assist or use Firebug or similar web inspection tool to review your site's CSS.

   Could you please describe the exact text in question? I see no such issue.

   You may also want to review using permalinks (the url ending with page id is poor for SEO purposes)

   shoot, sorry, http://backstreetbooking.com/wordpress/bangtower/

   The text (bio) should be as wide as the main photo/img
   Photo is 432px wide, the text should also span 432

   I will also bring the web/fb/yt link images up closer to the image along with the bio

   Sorry for not being clear, trying to describe the best I can.
   Below is the actual text that needs to span 432px, underneath the Photo.

   BangTower is a progressive musical alliance featuring legendary bassist Percy Jones, who is best known for his work with Brand X, a band that also featured Genesis legend Phil Collins. Along with Jones, the power-prog trio also includes Grammy winning guitarist/engineer/producer Neil Citron. Walter Garces, who also performs with ’60s psychedelic marvels The Electric Prunes, rounds off the trio with his skillful drumming. Their maiden voyage “Casting Shadows“, produced, mixed & engineered by Neil Citron and coproduced by Jon Pomplin

   Totally smoking fusion disc! – Barry Cleveland  Guitar Player Magazine (editor’s top pick)
   This is a refreshing take of progressive compositions played with a serious no fear attitude. – Jason Kot  Bass Musician Magazine
   “Blistering fusion, screaming rock, fiery jazz – whatever you call it, this trio will
   blow you away.” – Stephanie Sollows – Progressive World

    nope, Audio player and youtube are fine; it's the text (bio) now sitting at the bottom under the web, facebook, and youtube channel link images.

    It now spans across entire boxed area of the page.

    didn't work;

    did you clear the browser cache after the changes to the styles?

    'CTRL F5' or 'reload' or wahtever it takes...

    I see the text having about the width of the image.
