Varg theme - expansion of left post column? (7 posts)

    Theme in question is:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/varg

    The theme is divided into 3 columns and I want out with the middle column. How can I expand the leftmost post/page column more to the right after getting rid of the middle column? I only want the left post/page column and the right menu column. Where in the code can I expand the leftmost post/page column after I get rid of the middle column?

    Thanks.

    Btw, I deleted <?php get_sidebar('left');?> from the specified files to get rid of the middle column, but I still can't figure out how to expand the leftmost post/page column more right.

    you can post a link to your site to illustrate what you have so far, so someone can have a look at it;

    working with a tool such as Firebug http://getfirebug.com/ might help you to identify which css styles to edit.

    Thanks for the firebug suggestion, looks useful. I will look through it. The site I have setup is http://ancientproductions.com/ and I am trying to expand the gray post/page box where it says "Site will feature custom made knives, etc." to be equal with the gray footer box on the bottom.

    it might be tedious, but there is no other way than to go through style.css and increase all those widths (in the region of 450px to 558px or so) by the same amount that got freed up through removing one of the sidebars.

    some of the divs have background images that also need to be edited.

    You might want to just look at other themes that have 2-column options -- it would be much easier than trying to deal with a lot of changes to this one. Unless you are fairly experienced with CSS, it can be pretty tedious and frustrating to do a lot of detailed changes.

    I too feel in love with this theme and was trying to figure this very problem out. I'm thinking of contacting the "author" to see if she would modify Varg and make a Varg II. I'll keep checking back to see if anyone has made any progress.
