Please help-- I'm a newbie!

Hello, thank you in advance for your help. I've just created my first website, using joomla rockettheme, and am very glad to have this extension available. However, since I do not know much about html (what I do know is self-taught in the last 6 months) I am needing some assistance.

Please see the subscribe form on the left-hand side here: <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.36hoursinaday.com">www.36hoursinaday.com</a><!-- w -->

There seems to be some extra padding on the left side of the module, and not enough on the right side, causing everything to "spill over" the right side of the module box. Can you tell me how to fix this?

Also, I would like to be able to minimize some of the text to appear like the paragraph text in the rest of the website, but this is a less pressing issue. Thank you so much!

Hi Melissa,

Look in the Chronoforms style1.css file for this code block
.form_element {
float:left;
font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:14px;
margin-bottom:8px;
margin-left:30px;
margin-top:8px;
}
You'll need to change the margin-left settings

My hero! Thank you so much! For some reason, I could not find the CSS file from my rockettheme administrator, so I just edited it on my hard drive and uploaded it with my FTP client. This is all so new to me, so I am very excited that I was able to do this myself, AND I was able to change the font the way I wanted. Many, many thanks!

Hi Melissa,

That's OK this one isn't a RocketTheme file, many Joomla tempaltes don't style forms so ChronoForms adds some files of it's own. FTP and upload is good - I prefer to use an FTP linked editor so that I edit the copies on the site, saves one step in the process.
