Okay, it looks like it’s there. Small typo. Instead of:

#sidebars .teasers { width: 18em; }

You need:

#sidebars .teaser { width: 18em; }

Should be Thesis 1.6. Is it there?

Are you sure you added it? I don’t see it here: http://jebdickerson.com/wp-content/themes/thesis_15/custom/custom.css

Hi Mel,
Thanks for the quick response. I tried that, and changed the 18em to 10em and nothing happened. Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong? The other widgets I’m testing/using seem to be fitting fine, but not this one for some reason…thanks again.

Jeb,

Glad you’re finding it useful. You can control the width of the teaser inside the sidebar by adding this to your custom.css file:

#sidebars .teasers { width: 18em; }

You can adjust the width (set to 18em in the above code) to whatever might suit you best.

Hey there…thanks for this, I appreciate it very much. I’m wondering if there’s a way to control the width of the widget…it seems to be busting out of my widget column. I’m testing it at http://www.jebdickerson.com if you’d like to check it out.

Thanks much…Jeb

Alright, I just added un updated version for Thesis 1.6. The updated version should probably work for Thesis 1.5 but I haven’t tested it yet. One shortcoming of the new version is that the image thumbnails are not linked to the posts. I’m working on a fix. If you know a way of fixing it, please email me at mr@melvinram.com.
