    I know I am missing something obvious, but I can't see to get this to work.

    I am using the Corporate Theme. There are 3 "Home-Middle" Widgets after the Top Featured Widget. I'd like to add another 3 widgets below the 3 "Home-Middle" Widgets for a total of 6.

    1. I've copied (and pasted) the code in the functions.php changing the 1,2,3 for 4,5,6 so that there are 6 registered widgets.
    {Home Middle 1 through 6}

    2. I've added code to the home.php (again copy/paste/change - see above).

    3. I've adjusted the style sheet for the additional widgets.

    Then I add the featured pages and it goes all crazy.

    I'm thinking it is my CSS?

    Here's what I have

    /* Home Middle
    ------------------------------------------------------------ */

    #home-middle {
    background-color: #fff;
    margin: 0 auto;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 0;
    width: 960px;
    }

    #home-middle .wrap {
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 20px 25px 5px;
    }

    #home-middle p {
    padding: 0 0 15px;
    }

    .home-middle-1 {
    float: left;
    padding: 0 27px 0 0;
    width: 285px;
    }

    .home-middle-2 {
    float: left;
    width: 285px;
    }

    .home-middle-3 {
    float: right;
    width: 285px;
    }

    .home-middle-4 {
    float: left;
    padding: 0 27px 0 0;
    width: 285px;
    }

    .home-middle-5 {
    float: left;

    width: 285px;
    }

    .home-middle-6 {
    float: right;
    width: 285px;

    }

    Hmm, any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to line Home Middle 4 Under Home Middle1.  Home Middle 5 Under Home Middle 2, and Home Middle 6 under Home Middle 3.

    Hi Brad.

    I didn't get this resolved. Now that I am on vacation I hope to tackle it again soon.

    I know the site link I gave doesn't work anymore, but with the code I provided, can you see what my problem might be?

    I need to inspect the site using Firebug. Its probably a CSS tweak needed for the width.
