Description and Message
How can I get the blocks on the left and right sides to adjust smaller

Their default is 180 and upon measuring them, they seem to be somewhat bigger

Also...I se the left side to 150 and it does noting at all and it would look much better to be smaller in width

Any ideas please?

if you have something in the box content that prevents to lower the size to less than 180 px (I think this clock for instance).

I turned off the clock block and it still won’t get any smaller

Currently set to 100 and us way too big

As i see in you source code the left column is set to 100px and the right is set to 180px. And the left one is thinner.
Anyway, your source code looks fine, it should work. Try to find out which element is blocking it from getting thinner.
Tip: the mini calendar is a typical element which is causing trouble to get it thinner. Deactivate it for getting the right column thinner.

hm - what about the attachments - i am not quite sure. But i could imagine that the title of the attachment can cause this. At the moment i dont see another thing than something in the box content.

Found it

I had a long link in the extra links box and even though it broke to the next line, it was stretching the block to where it would not get smaller

I need to experiment with that

Thanx for the help

So he must have a sense of humor. ;)
