Sidebar formatting
-
Hi,
I have two text widgets on the top of my sidebar – one is a photo, the other a link to fuelmyblogI’d like to know what code I have to stick in to each one so that they format to the right-hand edge of the column.
cheers,

What I do to format text widgets in the sidebar is compose them as if they’re blog posts, using all the formatting tools, then when they look good I click to the Code editor and copy all of that code. Then I delete that draft and paste all the code into the widget.

That’s a good idea. I’ll try the justify text right button in a dummy post and see if it works. thanks!

It worked! – at least for the photo. I’ve had to take the other widget out though, cuz I can’t figure out how to aline it to the right side. It’s not a photo, just a string of code for an icon that links to fuelmyblog. I’ll keep bashing away at it though, now that you’ve put me on the right track. Thanks again. – Ian

If you can get the icon to show up in the Write Post box, you should be able to click on it and align it right.

<div style="text-align:right;">bunch of html here</div>Should work to right justify. Also can use center and left. But yeah… composing it in the visual editor should work as well.

HI – I managed to get the widget thingy aligned correctly as well by inserting the code in the right place in the string. This is a major accomplishment for me, btw. I can speak three languages fluently, but when it comes to computer languages and even something as “simple” as html, my eyes glaze over and I can’t “read” anything. So thanks again.

Glad it worked out for you. I hate learning HTML too, and using the Write box to compose my widgets has helped me a lot.
