    Hi. In the widgets section when you're editing your WP site, there's an option to add a "Bottom Content Widget". The widget only goes across half of the main section on my website. You can see what I'm talking about HERE (http://techgeec.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/content-half.png). I want to know if it's possible to stretch it horizontally so that it looks like THIS (http://techgeec.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/content-full.png).

    All help is appreciated!

    From what I'm seeing, I can't find anyway to change it. Here's what I got from firebug:

    <div id="bottom-content-1">
    <ul class="clearfix xoxo">
    <li class="widgetcontainer clearfix">
    <h5 class="widgettitle">Case Crown</h5>
    <div class="widgetcontent">
    <div class="textwidget">
    <a href="http://techgeec.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/CaseCrown.gif">
    <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-702" width="634" height="256" alt="CaseCrown" src="http://techgeec.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/CaseCrown.gif" title="CaseCrown"/>
    </a>
    </div>
    </div>
    </li>
    </ul>
    </div>

    From what you see, is there any way to change it?

    That's the html, you need to change the corresponding CSS which is in the box on the right in firbug, under the style tab, will look something like

    .textwidget{
    width:400px;
    margin:20px;
    }

    look here for an introduction http://www.w3schools.com/css/

    hi in your theme's folder look for default.css (in css/styles) and on line 147 change

    #bottom-content-1, #bottom-content-2 {
    float:left;
    margin:0 10px 10px 0;
    overflow:hidden;
    width:320px;
    }
    to
    #bottom-content-1, #bottom-content-2 {
    float:left;
    margin:0 10px 10px 0;
    overflow:hidden;
    
    }

    if this doesn't work as it should on every browser separate content 1 from content 2 (copy and paste so there are two) and set each at a different width.
