 * Hello fellow forum users,
    I’m trying to customize my blog using a child theme
   based on Pinboard theme as a parent. I managed to create the child theme sucessfully
   and now I need to do some tweeks. I used the devtool (ctrl+shift+i) on google
   chrome and changed my footer sidebar to look like this: [http://worlduponmyshoulders.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/footer.jpg](http://worlduponmyshoulders.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/footer.jpg)
   and here are the changes I’ve made: [http://worlduponmyshoulders.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/edit.jpg](http://worlduponmyshoulders.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/edit.jpg)
   I know that it’s possible to edit the child theme just by adding some lines on
   the style.css file through the appearance>editor menu or by editing a .php file
   and copying it to the child theme folder, but I have no idea where and how to
   do it. My page/blog is [http://worlduponmyshoulders.com](http://worlduponmyshoulders.com)
   Can anyone help me?

 * I’ve managed to find a solution for this problem. Unfortunately I couldn’t set
   different width for each column so I had to resize them and give some spacing
   to keep a symmetric appearance and fill the 1140px available. Just copy the following
   lines to the style.css file and let the magig happens!
 * /* Footer widget spacing fix */
    #footer-area.widget, .threecol { width: 335px;
   margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; }
