Increasing the writing width/area of pixeled theme (2 posts)

    Hi Everyone...I've been trying to figure this out for some time now but don't know how to do this. I want to increase the width of typeable area on the blog and decrease the size of the sidebar on the right. Specifically, I want the text area to be 750 pixels and the sidebar to be whatever is left (150pixels?).

    How do I go about doing this? I opened the style.css file but don't know where to start. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I realize this question is four months old but the answer can still help others.

    To modify the width of the sidebars, open style.css in the theme's root directory and look for the ID called #sidebars, and modify the width element.

    E.g.

    /* Sidebars */
    #sidebars {
      margin: 15px 0 0 0;
      float: right;
      width: 340px;
      color: #C5C5C5;
      }

    To modify the article column width, look for the ID called #contentwrapper:

    #contentwrapper {
      float:left;
      width: 580px;
      margin: 0 0 15px 0;
      padding: 0;
      }
