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

any suggestions? thanks in advance <3

[xohh_tragicx3]

i tried that already, and the 'about me' still stayed the way it was.

i also tried that custom skinny layout, but that didn't work either.

yeah. i'm stuck.

thanks for trying though. is there anything else i can try?
