  Trying to widen the sidebar on the right to encompass the new twitter timeline widgets. I have the css upgrade but can not find a code that works. I can not embed the twitter timeline, (read that it is not supported) but think a quick tweak of the width of that right sidebar would do the trick. Hours and hours looking. Thanks for any help.

  This is a bit of a “hack” and it is something that staff should look into and fix, but add the following to the custom CSS to get you by for now.

  #tertiary {
  width: 27.7273%;
  }

  Hi! I tried this and it didn’t work. Should I play with that width? Actually, nothing changed at all. When I hit save… I checked and then went back into the CSS customization and the “new message” was still there. This code was gone…. thoughts? ERG.

  Strange. That worked just fine for me on your site using Firebug in Firefox. Let’s try a bigger hammer.

  #tertiary {
  width: 27.7273% !important;
  }

  Try using “#main .widget-area” as the selector instead because that’s what the theme seems to be using.

  Here’s how I found it using Chrome’s built-in web inspector: http://cl.ly/OxeQ
