How do I narrow the footer?

There are two div tags at the bottom of your site:

<div id=”footer”>
<div id=”footerbox”>

One of the two, maybe both, should have a width. My guess is currently thats set to 100%. What you’d need to do is give the div a set width and margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; in your CSS file.

If you can find those two ids in the style.css file and post them, should be able to help more if you still don’t understand.

Thanks Versipellis!

Do I find these div tags in the Stylesheet (style.CSS) or footer.php file?

I am looking at both right now!

The contents of my footer.php is as follows:

<div class=”clear”></div>
<div id=”footer”>
<div id=”footerbox”>
<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘Footer Widget’) ) : ?>
<div class=”left”>
<h3>
<?php _e(“Footer Widget #1”, ‘themejunkie’); ?>
</h3>
<div class=”box”>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin semper ultrices tortor quis sodales. Proin scelerisque porttitor tellus, vel dignissim tortor varius quis. Proin diam eros, lobortis sit amet viverra id, eleifend ut tellus. Vivamus sed lacus augue.</div>
</div>
<div class=”left”>
<h3>

<div class=”box”>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin semper ultrices tortor quis sodales. Proin scelerisque porttitor tellus, vel dignissim tortor varius quis. Proin diam eros, lobortis sit amet viverra id, eleifend ut tellus. Vivamus sed lacus augue.</div>

</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class=”clear”></div>

Sorry for the long quotes guys!

I really don’t know what to do to fix this issue and that is really bothering me.

Your patience and advice would be greatly appreciate.

Just remember to talk in simplistic, step by step terms! I am not experienced in this stuff at all…..

Does anyone have any advice please?

This issue is very frustrating for me! ??
