    Administration: Directory (tiki-admin.php?page=directory) Beyond that, edit the theme's CSS file.

    Where in the css file? I looked through it and couldn't pinpoint what controlled that.

    Most/all of the CSS files have a section for each Tiki feature. If you search in the file for "Directory", you'll find the Directory selectors. The file might have comments describing the selectors.

    Otherwise you can search in the source code of the page produced by your browser for the starting point of the part of the page you want to modify. If the Directory categories are spaced OK, but the list of sites goes too close to the left and right margins, maybe you'd search for "Links" and see what the next div is and if it appears to contain all of the page parts that you want to be changed.

    Check a site such as CSS SchoolQuestion for the right property and syntax to use if you're not sure.

    The catagories are too close together. Unfortunetely, I haven't been able to work out how to change it.

    The number of category columns is set on the Directory admin page, as I said earlier. If reducing the number of columns isn't what you want to do, then you have to modify the CSS file. Did you look in the page source as I mentioned, and find the relevant part of the page, and the CSS divs and the table(s) etc. that are used to lay out the section of the page?
