 * Hi
 * I’m trying to make the comments on my site float right, but I seem to be unable
   to do so.
 * I’m using Disqus.
 * This is the code I’ve placed in the CSS, which it doesn’t work:
 * **#disqus_thread {width:525px; float:right;}**
 * My site: [http://www.geimaku.com/31/05/2012/tinal-test/](http://www.geimaku.com/31/05/2012/tinal-test/)
 * Thanks.

 * use a tool such as Firebug for these kind of formatting issues; [http://getfirebug.com/](http://getfirebug.com/)
 * your style is ok, but this style in your child theme’s styles is limiting the`#
   content` width:
 *     ```
       #page #content {
           width: 610px !important;
       }
       ```

 * Hi
 * Thanks. I’ve removd that code, and the comment section looks fine now. But now
   the width of the [content area in the home page](http://www.geimaku.com/) is 
   is much bigger too.
 * How can I have a different size in the home page then?

 * the theme uses `body_class()` [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class)–
   use those extra page specific css classes to style different pages different;
 * example:
 * the home page has the body class `.home`; to make any style specific for the 
   home page, start it with `.home` in connection with your style in style.css:
 * `.home #page #content { ... }`

 * I am also struggling with the width of Disqus. It is currently too far off to
   the left of my site. You can see this at [http://mycurlymane.com](http://mycurlymane.com).
 * I’m not sure how to adjust this with the 2012 version of Disqus. Any help you
   can lend is appreciated. I’m also not deeply savvy with coding and could use 
   some detailed steps.

 * Pasting the code above in my CSS Editor seemed to do the trick!
 * #disqus_thread {
    width:400px; margin-left:25px; margin-right:25px; margin-top:
   75px; }
 * It’s still over to the left, but muuuuch better! If I wanted to adjust further,
   do you have any tips on the numbers I should use/adjust in the code? I’m a bit
   nervous about tweaking this further.
 * Thank you!!
