Working with, resizing blocks
PermalinkI see that they can easily be moved around on the page, but cannot figure out how to resize them.

Appreciate your quick response.
When I go to the CSS tab in the edit mode I am greeted by three empty boxes. Am I supposed to know code to enter?
width: 200px;
to set the width of the block you are working with.
What you might want to try is adding a Layout to the area that has the block you want to resize. Note that this might make things even more confusing because it adds some weird-looking things to your page -- but if you get familiar with it it works very well and doesn't require any coding. To add a layout, click on "Add to Main" (or if the block in question is in the sidebar area, click "Add to Sidebar", or "Add to ___" whatever area it's in), then choose "Add Layout..." from the popup menu. Enter 2 columns and 1 row. Now you need to put the block inside the "Layout 1: Cell 1" (or something like that) and leave the other cell next to it empty. Now you can drag the layout border to the left and the right so set the specific size of the block inside it.
Hope that helps.
