 * Hello,
 * I am trying to increase the width of my sidebar, but haven’t had much luck. I
   can increase the margin-right on my content div but something is still restricting
   my sidebar. When I increase the width of #secondary to over 220px my widgets 
   pop down below my content on the left.
 * Please let me know if you can figure out what is controlling my sidebar width.
   I’m a little stumped.

 * If you increase the width of your sidebar (#secondary) then you need to reduce
   the width of the #content.

 * Thanks for the response. I recently figured it out by adjusting the size of my
   container.
