   Whenever I add text to any widget in my right sidebar, it displays downward instead of left to right (see example here - it's doing it on my home page and all single post pages throughout the site). I copied the widget code from my style.css and added it to my child theme so I could tweak it (I tried adding "display: inline;") but nothing changed. Any idea what I can modify to correct this?

   I think you have a typo in your child theme CSS here:
   

   #secondary {
       float: right;
       margin-right: 23%;
       width: 4%;
   }

   It's making the sidebar REALLY narrow -- LOL!

   try working with a browser inspection tool to find out what is responsible for formatting the sidebar.

   caused by:
   

   #secondary {
   	float: right;
   	margin-right: 23%;
   	width: 4.0%;
   
   	}

   for whatever reason you have changed the style of #secondary to this, is now effecting the text.

   try something like:

   #secondary {
     float: right;
     width: 25.25%;
     margin-right:1%;
   	}

   will obviously effect existing formatting...

   as these are pure formatting issues, you might get better response in a css forum like http://csscreator.com/forum

   Thank you both for pointing out which values to change! I used:

   `#secondary {
   float: right;
   width: 25.25%;
   margin-right:1%;
   }'

   and now it's much better. Thank you!!
