Chatter Box and visitor counter

I have added some "gadget" to my page if you notice, just a chatter Box and also visitor counter , all link back to my own ASP server. Hmmm I think the chatter box is abit small, but don't know how to increase the width of the left side bar. May be I should just put the chatter box at the bottom of the page. Will add more stuff soon. Currently Practicing "Sueno El Floresta" tough song on this high tension guitar string. Stay tune!
