 * Is there a way I can limit the width of a text column without affecting the template
   I am using?
 * In the link below is an example of what I would like to fix. I was hoping to 
   limit the width of the text only to about 500px, is that possible?
    I’d still
   like to keep the look of the page exactly the same.

 * Thanks

 * Yes, you can do this with padding applied to your content div’s css. You will
   need to edit your theme’s style.css. For examples and instructions, try Google
   searches for **css padding** and for **css box model**.
