style.css (line 91)
#sidebar-left .block {
width:135px;
}

common.css (line 102)
.block {
width:130px;
}

Check out Firebug it's helpful.

10 pixels is very small. The content of your td is wider than that, which is probably why the 10px is being ignore.

Suggest you Google 'css width' or install Firebug (and Firefox if you haven't already got it). Firebug is great for viewing where your page elements are getting their style from.
