   We are trying to get our site going but have plenty of formatting questions. First one is how to center widgets in the sidebar.

   Here's a sample page:

   http://unheardbeethoven.urgo.org/wordpress/about-the-project/

   The widgets are way off to the right, and we'd like them centered in the sidebar.

   Using 3.4.2, with the current version of the Esplanade theme. I put this into the Custom CSS box on the Design page for Explanade as had been suggested in some earlier threads but it didn't do anything.

   #sidebar ul li {
   text-align: center;
   }

   Second, how do we make the text area of the screen wider? It feels like two-thirds of the screen is blank right now.

   This article should explain and example CSS for centring elements.

   Looks like your sidebar may have two sections -- so try adding this to your custom CSS:
   

   #sidebar-right {
       width: 100%;
   }

   Remove the code you posted above as it may cause other problems.
