 * I have to edit the sidebar/widgets manually, so I have a problem.
 * [http://eccentric.wtf.la](http://eccentric.wtf.la)
    In the ‘links’ widget, the
   text is sticking out of the grey box. How do I fix it?
 *     ```
       /*---:[ sidebar styles ]:---*/
   
       #sidebar ul { list-style: none; }
   
       	#sidebar ul li { width: 250px; margin-bottom: 25px; float: left; }
   
       		.sidebar_section { width: 150px; padding: 10px 0 10px 0; background: #f5f5f5; float: left; }
   
       			.sidebar_section p { padding: 0 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; }
   
       			.sidebar_section p.center { text-align: center; }
   
       			.sidebar_section img.off { border: none; }
   
       			#sidebar ul li ul, #sidebar ul li ol { list-style: square; width: 210px; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 12px; }
   
       				#sidebar ul li ul li, #sidebar ul li ol li { width: 200px; padding: 3px 10px 3px 0; margin-bottom: 0; }
   
       					.quick_date { padding-left: 10px; color: #999; }
       ```

 * Change the width of your sidebar list from 250px to 150px. But let me say, this
   is very very small for a sidebar.

 * Thanks I’ve changed it so it looks like this but it didn’t change anything on
   the page

 * You have to change all:
 *     ```
       #sidebar ul li ul, #sidebar ul li ol { list-style: square; width: 210px; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 12px; }
   
       #sidebar ul li ul li, #sidebar ul li ol li { width: 200px; padding: 3px 10px 3px 0; margin-bottom: 0; }
       ```
