 * Hey guys,
 * I have a wordpress website with two separate columns for the widgets. I’ve edited
   a theme that already had coding done there so I am almost clueless in the coding
   scene.
 * However, I’ve seen blogs that have very “flexible” widget boxes.
 * [http://www.shenyuepop.com ](http://www.shenyuepop.com)
 * The user is able to make a bigger box, and have smaller boxes too… how can I 
   do this?
 * Thanks!!!
 * my website is [HERE!](http://www.ko-holic.com)

 * Hi,
 * To edit the size of widget you can check the style.css for sidebar width and 
   settings…while for a particular widget you need to modify sidebar.php from the
   current active theme.
 * Thanks,

 * Hmm… I’m not sure, there are no dimensions in css. This is my sidebar.php:
 * **<? // LEFT SIDEBAR ?>**
 * <div id=”leftsidebar”>
 * <?php if ( function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : else :?
   >
    - <h2>Recent entries</h2>
 *  -  <?php
       // I love zinruss studio query_posts(‘showposts=8’); ?> <?php if (
      have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    - 
    -  <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
 * </script>
    - <h2>Menu</h2>
 *  -  <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’); ?>
 *  - <h2>Categories</h2>
 *  -  <?php wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0’); ?>
 * </script>
    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”[http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”&gt](http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”&gt);
   </script></div>
 * <?php endif; ?>
 * </div>
    <? // END LEFT SIDEBAR ?>
 * <? // RIGHT SIDEBAR ?>
    <div id=”rightsidebar”>
    - <?php if ( function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : else:?
      >
    - <h2><?php _e(‘Archives’); ?></h2>
 *  -  <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>
 * <?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>
    <?php
   get_links_list(); ?>
    - <h2><?php _e(‘Meta’); ?></h2>
 *  -  <?php wp_register(); ?>
    - <?php wp_loginout(); ?>
    - [“><?php _e(‘Valid <abbr title=”eXtensible HyperText Markup Language”>XHTML</abbr>’); ?>](http://validator.w3.org/check/referer)
    - 
    - 
    - [“>WordPress](http://wordpress.org/)
    -  <?php wp_meta(); ?>
 * <?php } ?>
 * <?php endif; ?>
