    Hi all, this is my first forum post ever so forgive me if I put this in the wrong location.

    I’m curious…I have just added to the twentyten theme’s two column layout to make it three columns in my css child theme. I am finding it tough for space. I wanted to expand the entire site so that I could get an extra 100 px’s. I tried to adjust #main to 1060 px and nothing happened and then with that I expanded the #container to 1040 px ( I added 100px to both more or less). What’s strange is that nothing happened after I expanded main and when I expanded the content my left sidebar overlapped my content area lol. Totally baffling to me. I am somewhat new to this and would appreciate any comments as to whether or not I can make the site wider or not and why these other things did nothing or in one case overlapped the content area. Thanks

    The sidebar position is set by the margins, use FireFox and the FireBug plugin (Ctrl+F12) to view the applied styles and adjust the ones that are holding the width.

    I did do a tutorail a while back for the old twenty ten theme, there are posts on layout and two sidebars that might help.

    I did visit the website but it looks like you have reset the width to 940px?

    Do a find in the parent style.css to locate all the 940px widths, and adjust these in the child style.css, when viewing some data is cached, (Ctrl+F5) reload the stylesheet with the changes.
