 * Hi there,
 * Firtly see [http://www.lilasfrenchcooking.co.za/products-page/ingredients/](http://www.lilasfrenchcooking.co.za/products-page/ingredients/).
 * The product boxes and the right sidebar are overlapping. I would like to keep
   the sidebar but I would like to remove the overlapping. How could I do this?
 * Would it be possible to narrow the sidebar?
 * I have installed ‘Edit CSS’ in the WP admin.
 * I really hope that someone can assist.
 * Ciao ciao

 * Hi,
 * Since you already have the Edit CSS option, you can go ahead and copy-paste this
   in there:
 * (change the numbers as you see fit)
 *     ```
       .container_24 .grid_8 {
         width: 260px; /* width of sidebar container */
         padding-left: 50px; /* How far to move the container from the left   (bigger number means moving further away to the right)*/
       }
   
       #searchform {
           width: 200px !important; /* Width of search form */
       }
   
       #searchform #s {
           width:160px !important; /* Width of typing area in search form */
       }
       ```
   
 * Best regards,

 * That depends on how far you plan go; for example, becoming a professional vs.
   just know enough to manipulate/edit a pre-made theme.
 * But for a starting point, try [codecademy.com](http://www.codecademy.com). For
   basic HTML and CSS, you can click on Learn tab –> then visit Web Fundamental.
 * Otherwise, Google or Bing search is probably your best friend, haha 🙂

 * Thank you very much – the help is really appreciated!
 * I plan on becoming a professional but I think that I still have a long journey
   ahead of me before I become a professional. One step at a time ha ha 😉
