   Hello,
   it depends on the format you use. For a Flash widget you set the width/heights in a appropriate field of Widget Design form. In case you use HTML, you should set a CSS rule for the container element, like this <div style="width: 240px">...</div>

   Thanks for that. Now, though, the feed doesn't show at all. Here's the html. I trimmed it here by removing the [<noscript>] for easier viewing:

   <div class="col span_1_of_1">
   <img src="ads/scnn.jpg"><br>
   <img src="ads/ad2.png"><br>
   <img src="ads/ad2.png"><br>

   <div style="width">
   <script type="text/javascript" src="http://feed.informer.com/widgets/MXC7PHKOOE.js"></script>
   </div>
   </div>

   Here's the URL: http://stocksthatmove.com/01r/hot_stock_commentary4.html

   The feed should be appearing just beneath the "ads" on the right, but it's gone ... gone!

   Please let me know.

   Thanks

   As I can see, the embed code is just missing from your page HTML code.
   Do you use a content management system, or a blogging platform by chance?
   Some platforms just strip <script> tags from templates and content, due to security reasons.

   I work directly on the server (using the ancient Macromedia "Homesite" software). I didn't see the code, just the widget script, so it wasn't stripped. I figured it was somehow included in the widget script. So..... I'm assuming the code is easy find (although I missed it the first time); I'll look for it now. Is it best to put the code inline or have it external? Thanks very much.

   OK, is it the http://feed.informer.com/digests/RGRE85IEPL/feeder.rss I'm looking for? If so, how do I call it? Sorry, I'm new to this.

   No,
   http://feed.informer.com/digests/RGRE85IEPL/feeder.rss - it is your digest, in RSS format.
   Basically, digest is raw data.

   You need to create a widget and then embed it to your HTML page or template.

   Please visit "WIDGETS" link in your control panel, create a new widget, choose a style for it from the list of predefined templates, or create your own template (via "Edit template manually"), then grab the code from "Widget Embed Code" section and put it into appropriate position of your HTML page/template.

    Well, almost got it. I spent the last 2 hours trying to format the heading of each of the feed items.

    http://stocksthatmove.com/01r/hot_stock_commentary4.html

    I can change the body of the items in the web page's HTML like this:

    <div style="width:240px; font-variant: normal !important; color: #236785 !important; font: italic 400 0.875em arial,sans-serif !important; line-height:100%;">

    but nothing I do, either in the DIV above or when I edit the FI template manually:

    <div style="font-variant: normal !important; color: #aa0000 !important; font-size: 0.875em !important;"> %TITLE%<br /> (%MONTHSHORT% %DAY%, %YEAR% %TIME24%)   <ifdescription><em>%DESCRIPTIONPLAIN,90%</em><br /></ifdescription><br /></div>

    So what does it take to specifically get rid of the "small-caps" and change the color of the headings? I'm out of ideas.

    To change the style of the headings you need to apply these rules to the "a" tag, not to the "div" surrounding it.
