# template breaks up why?

 * Hi,
 * I am having trouble with my template. The right side of the template with the
   links etc slips down to the bottom when viewed in Windows. Maybe it’s because
   a few pictures are too wide, but I reduced their size to within the limits.
 * My site is at: [http://homebusinesscreative.com](http://homebusinesscreative.com)
 * I’m using WordPress 2.0.2
 * The coder I used said the content column width was 560 pixels, so I needed to
   upload pictures of width of maxim. 555 pixels. I believe I have done that, so
   I’m wondering if anyone could shed some light on this?
 * Any ideas as to what steps I need to take to rectify this?
 * With thanks,
 * Martin H

 * He’s not taking into account the padding on the left and right of the content,
   so Your max width on images should be no more than 530px to be safe.

 * Thanks so much for that. I have just tried roughly 500px width on all the big
   pics and am still getting the same problem.
 * Any suggestions, or can you see something that I can’t?

 * You put your ads in the content div. That’s forcing the width to blow out. Add`
   overflow:hidden;` to your `#content` and you’ll see what I mean.

 * Hi, thanks…
 * Can you tell me where I can find the #content? I’m not sure where to look exactly.
   Do you mean in the theme editor in the ‘sidebar’ for example?

 * Great…
 * I did this:
 * #content{
    color: #3D3D3D; float: left; line-height: 130%; margin: 0px; overflow:
   hidden; padding: 10px 11px 10px 11px; text-align: justify; width: 560px;
 * Does it look like it works ok to you? If not please let me know… Thanks.

 * No. Now your ads are borked.
 * Take them out of the content div, you cannot have an element wider then your 
   content div INSIDE the content div and not have feces occur.
 * Read my post, adding overflow:hidden was ONLY to show you where the problem was,
   it is not a solution.

 * Ok… can’t find my ads in the content div. How do I “take my ads out of the content
   div?” What do I need to do exactly? I’m not a programmer, please give me simple
   instructions as to how to resolve this, thanks.
