  Hello,
  I am working on site: https://demo1wizbangwm.wordpress.com/

  I read that you can change the width of a widget using CSS. Since I am on the free plan, I wanted to test the change before deciding to buy a Premium Plan. To test the change in width to my front page widget, I went to Customize -> CSS -> and inserted the code below. However, I am not seeing any changes. Any ideas on what I did wrong? Many thanks!

  #front-page-widget-area{
  width: 800px;
  }

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