can I make the menu boxes longer?

[Tom Hanlon]

Hi Bill,

I bumped the font size down on my menu titles (“home,” “about,” etc.) so the longest one (“corporate writing”) could fit without going to two lines. I think the size might have been 20 and we lowered it to 16 – the first size that would allow corporate writing to stay on one line. Ideally, I’d like to just make the box bigger so I could maintain the font size at what you originally set it. Is that possible? Thanks,

Tom

Hello Tom,

Great question. What you’ll want to do is make the sidebar area wider. The menu items will fill the full width so that should give you enough room. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Theme Options page and select the Styling tab.
2. Scroll down to the Custom CSS box and paste this:

   
   #sidebar {
   	width: 250px;
   }
   

3. Update your settings.

If you need more space you change the 250 in the snippet above to a larger number.

Let me know if that doesn't do the trick for you.

Have a great week,
Bill
