  If I upgrade my theme so I can change the CSS, would I be able to make the footer sidebar narrower? It’s taller than I’d like.

  Hi Amanda!

  Yes, you can definitely make the footer narrower. Here’s a snippet of CSS that could work:

  .footer-widget-area {
  height: 20px;
  }

  div#content.site-content {
  height: 750px;
  }

  That would create a layout that looks like this:

  Is that close to what you’re looking to accomplish?

  YES! That’s EXACTLY what I want it to do. Thanks!

  Can I do the same thing for the text box on the front page?

  Hey Amanda,

  This bit of code should do the trick (depending on how much you want to shrink it):

  div.entry-content {
  padding-top: 5px;
  padding-bottom: 5px;
  }

  It should look like this:

  Let me know how that looks!
