 * **Wonderful plugin. Thank you.**
 * i am using the `[column width="200px" padding="10px"] Column 1 content goes here.[/
   column]` method to manage column width, but i am trying unsuccessfully to manage
   each side separately using `padding="0px 10px 0px 20px"` or `padding-right="20px."`
   nothing seems to respond and I want to align things where i want to align things
   rather than float in the center.

 * Please advise.

 * try either
    `padding="0 10px 0 20px"` (0 padding does not use px) or `padding_right
   ="20px"` (shortcode does not allow – in the attribute title)
 * Let us know if this fixes the issue for you, good luck!

 * I use the plugin on more than one site, sometimes the above solution works and
   sometimes it refuses. I “think” some other plugins get in the way. I have begun
   turning off plugins (not yours) to see where the intrusive beasts are. Some of
   the SEOs are very nasty as are visitor counter plugins. They “seem” to insert
   code at the cost of other items not working. So the nasties are being replaced/
   deleted slowly to see where the fix(s) are. Still the best, controllable solution
   for magazine columns.
    Best to you, P
