I installed a blog and added some adverts as widgets, the widgets are too wide and cross over into the body of the blog, can someone please help me fix it? Here is what I'm talking about:

You need to set a width for the .navigation class in your style sheet eg something like

Code:
.navigation {
	background: #FFFFFF;
	float: left;
	width: 350px;
}


You may also need to fiddle with .main and other classes to get everything to fit nicely.
 
you could make the content smaller also

.content {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #EAEAEA;
float: right;
padding-left: 0;
width: 465px;


}
 
Find this
HTML:
element.style {    display: block;    height: auto;    left: 0;    outline: 0 none;    position: relative;    top: 0;    width: 305px;    z-index: 1002;}
change to
HTML:
element.style {    display: block;    height: auto;    left: 0;    outline: 0 none;    position: relative;    top: 0;    width: 205px;    z-index: 1002;}
 
You need to edit your CSS

find .content and change the width from 565px to 465px

next, find .navigation and change the width from 210px to 310px


after implementing these changes locally on my machine, this is what the site looks like:

I do this kinda stuff for a living.. if you like I can login to your site and make the necessary changes. Should take me about 3 minutes. PM me if you'd like a hand.

Thanks for the help guys.. I fixed it using your recommendations. But I have 1 more question, why does the site load up in the middle of the page, instead of at the top?
