 * 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](http://digitalraindrops.net/templates/) 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.
