 * I tried to look through the forums to solve this problem but alas I have not 
   been successful. My widgets are slightly overlapping the content area on my webpage
   [riopuercoalliance.org/about](http://riopuercoalliance.org/about). I would like
   the borders to line up flush.
 * Also can anyone tell me how to switch my home page away from “Under construction”?
   I tried to publish HOME but no luck! You’ll see if you click the HOME button 
   in MENU. (This may be more of a question for the host too?)
 * Thanks!

 * You’ve got some overlap on both sides. This worked for me:
 *     ```
       #content {
         margin-left: 180px;
         padding-left: 0;
         width: 565px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Usual stuff about making changes in a child theme if you don’t completely control
   the theme’s code and want to save yourself potential grief in the future.
 * Don’t understand what you mean about your home page. It all looked fine to me.
 * cheers

 * peredur, I copied that into the style.css but the only thing that happened was
   some text appeared at the very top of the site, no matter where I put it in the
   style.css. where exactly should I paste this line code?
 * also, the homepage issue has been settled.
