Hello everyone. I need assistance on spacing the ads which appear on the sidebar of my website.

I have attached an image below for clearer understanding.

Thank You.

Ok, on your site now, but I can't see any ad to look at. At least create ad place holders, two on each side. This will give me a picture of what you are talking about and hopefully replicate your concern

The attached image to your original post looks fine to me. If what you are trying to do is to expand the spaces between the ad blocks, I'm guessing you will be able to edit your css.

Still here.

Okay, there are few ways to go about this, the easiest way is to go to where you are getting the banners from and request for banners that best fit the layout of your website, in this case, the right column. There will be dimensions in your css that controls the width of your site's side columns, find out what the width is and that will help you determine the width of banners you will be requesting for your site.

The other way round is if you are willing to alter the layout of your website to conform with banner dimensions, personally I will choose the first option over this, because in this case here, you will be altering your css every now and then just to conform with banner dimensions.

However, if you still wish to get down to the nitty-gritty, then locate your site's css and look for the part that controls the side columns, depending on the software you are using, some will call the sides "right column, left column", or "Left Block, Right Block" and different names like that.

You will need to find what your right and left side columns are called in the css. Once you find this, you will need to adjust the width to suit the size of the banners.

This shouldn't take you long to fix.

Hope this helps

Do you have the resources to edit templates or css online ? You can do this conveniently via ftp if you have the access to your server.

Your css seems to be directly embedded into your template. Looking at your css codes, I'm guessing this is what you need to edit;

.main-inner .columns {
padding-left: 180px; ----- change to what ever >
padding-right: 180px; ---- change to what ever >
}

body {
min-width: 930px;
}
.content-outer, .content-fauxcolumn-outer, .region-inner {
min-width: 930px;
max-width: 930px;
_width: 930px;
}
.main-inner .columns {
padding-left: 180px;
padding-right: 180px;
}
.main-inner .fauxcolumn-center-outer {
left: 180px;
right: 180px;


Hope this helps.
