  Hello, all!

  I’m an electronic instrumental musician with a strong passion for writing and playing Doom.

  I use my WordPress blog to promote my material. One thing I recently added to it was a Text/HTML sidebar widget that linked directly to five of my latest songs. Unfortunately it’s a bit awkward to use at the moment, because the embeds get cut off by the sidebar at precisely the point where the pause button appears, meaning that once a song starts playing, you can’t stop it.

  Is there a way I can either resize the sidebar or the embeds so that the pause button can be reached? Or perhaps use a different means of embedding the audio?

  Thanks in advance for any help. :)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can fully customize the WP audio player (including its width). See here:
