HTML help please

i have a blogsite at http://memorykeeper.myblogsite.com

i would like to decrease the width of the central column of 3 column page. At this moment, the central column makes the reader have to scroll left and right, which is distracting. i would like the reader to be able to see all three columns without the need to scroll left or right.

obviously, i am no good at the html stuff, hence would appreciate any help on this.

what is the code i need to use and where would i insert it??

i use firefox 1.0.6. i also have the extension called 'edit css' (in the hope of learning something about CSS - but here again a total DOH! at it)

unless I'm reading your question wrong, this is all you need:

...your original code

<td class="center">

...new code, with the addition in bold

<td width="400" class="center">

you can set its width to any number of pixels, or set it to a percentage, by adding % after the number, i.e. width="40% The only problem with this, is that your content will stretch the column past 40% if it is too wide.
hope this helps
