  • Try this bud...also, for your h2, you just need to locate the css and change it...

    The following link has the HTML and CSS you need to fix the box issue...BUT i only fixed one box...If you want i will help you fix the other two boxes as well, just let me know...

  • Box two needs spaces before and after so the words can wrap...
