Widening the theme

[butterfink 0]

Hi there, I am not very savvy with website creation. But What I am looking to do is just widen the website. It feels a bit slim to me. How would I do this?

I would also like to know the command to edit the width of the widget side bar thanks.

You can increase the overall width of the site and the sidebar using Firebug and CSS. For example, this CSS code (placed in Settings > Custom Code > CSS Rules) can change the width of the sidebar:

#sidebar {width: WIDTHVALUEpx;}

This means that the column that contains content and the overall site width will also need to increase. For more info on how CSS customizations can be done, please see here: http://www.pagelines.com/docs/?s=firebug#101

Hi again, Thanks Catrina for your help.. Only problem I am having is finding what the command would be for making the post wider. The sidebar command worked. But i cant find with my firebug what the name of the post container would be. Any ideas? I just want to widen the post by about 100 extra pixles.
