I see a lot of narrow widgets that look awful. Perhaps when it's this narrow, it should automatically use a smaller font size and wrap the text around the images (so the next line would start directly below the favicon instead below and to the right).

put the icon next to the time down and to the right - no one really cares what network its from anyway, right?

Or put it in a sidebar that's actually wide enough...photos must look horrible.
- Jandy
yes the narrow widgets are a problem, it doesn't have that easy to read friendfeed look
- Kelly Johns
Yes that would be great. Its not fitting into my blogger side bar very well right now.

Unfortunately a lot of popular blog templates (such as the ones on blogger) simply don't have wide columns, and it's not easy to make them any wider without completely changing the look of the blog (in the case of blogger, the column sizes are baked into the graphics).

Yeah, it's hard to change sidebar sizes in Blogger, though not impossible with a bit of CSS and Photoshop manipulation. Self-hosted WordPress FTW. :)
- Jandy
Agreed. That's why I don't have the FF widget on my blogs.

Smaller font makes sense.
- Kol Tregaskes
Only a guess, but in CSS can't you use something like overflow:hidden for some lines and for images max-width:[~widthOfWidget]px ?

…or even flow and wrap around the favicon as if it were a drop cap. Merely moving it up a line leaves it hard to distinguish at a glance whether it goes with the item above or below.
