I am trying to increase the size of my 250x250 ad space to 300x250 in the sidebar widget area. I would like to bump it out but the widget area is set for 250x250. Is there a way to change this? I looked in the Editor, in the sidebar section... But I think I am looking in the wrong place... Thanks for you help!

Hey,
this would require a complete layout change (increase the width of the sidebar to 300px, decrease the content area width, etc.). This is not easily possible because many images, text areas, columns etc. are optimized for the current layout and you'd need to change all elements.Posted 1 year ago # -
I have an ad widget that is 300 x 348 (The height can be changed to whatever you want). The sidebar is already 300 px wide, it's just that because of the padding and margins the useable space is reduced. Turn those off and you can make the big ad widget 300 px wide.
You have to fiddle about with the css that controls the big ad widget. Use firefox with firebug and you can find the bits you need to tweak.

Thanks for your quick reply! Yes, using Firebug did the trick. I was able to identify the proper area to edit and was able to fit new new ad space in. Thanks so much! You both are a big help.

Make sure you only change the css for the ad widget or you might mess up the styling of the other elements of the sidebar.
