    I need to know how to change the content size of my template layout with out loosing my sidebar. I have tried to fix it myself and loose the sidebar every time. I am new at coding the layout never tried to change one before. If you look at this page http://cooltoysforkids.info/my-cool-toy-store/ you will see my problem. I need the page wider because it is not showing all the plug-in that I have installed.

    not sure if this help but this is the content are code, what do i need to change.

    /* CONTENT AREA */
    .contentArea {
    	width: 100%;
    	background-color: #f0eff0;
    	background-image: url(images/content_bkgd_tile.jpg);
    	background-repeat: repeat-x;
    
    }
    
    .contentArea .container {
    	padding-top: 30px;
    	padding-bottom: 30px;
    	background-image: url(images/content_bkgd.jpg);
    	background-repeat: no-repeat;
    }
    
    .contentleft {
    	width: 650px;
    	padding-left: 40px;
    	padding-right: 40px;
    	float: left;
    	border-right-style: solid;
    	border-right-width: 1px;
    }
    
    .contentright {
    	padding-top: 20px;
    	float: left;
    	padding-left: 30px;
    	width: 210px;
    }
    
    .imageright {
    
    	margin-left: 5px;
    	float: right;
    
    }
    
    #search {
    	margin: 0 0 1.4em 0;
    }
    
    #searchbutton {
    	margin-left:7px;
    }

    and your sidebar is where?

    The easy thing would be just to do a width="76,5%" on the container ( assuming your sidebar isn't inside that one) and then just making the sidebars width into width="23%"

    something along those lines

    and then just keep trying with the widths until you like how it looks. A tip is to use firebug in firefox and try your css changes. I.e you type in the code and the page changes in your browser
