box widths, errg Options

[xohh_tragicx3]

( i'm sick, forgive me if i make absolutely no sense )

my about me box won't get smaller, and my extended network bar won't get thinner.

i've used codes to make all of my boxes the same widths, and i've tried making my extended network bar shorter in height.
like hers --> my friend

however every time i try, it goes back to same way it was, or just screwed up entirely. i've even tried layouts with thinner extended network bars and a skinnier 'about me' section. nothing works.

here's my code

Well all your layouts tend to stay the same size so why don't you use this code to just make the size of all the tables smaller?
