 * Hi,
 * Try this!
    edit the following stylesheet: wp-content/themes/thematic/library/
   layouts/**2c-r-fixed.css**
 * Find the “#container” line, and modify the “width: ” element.
    Also the “#content”
   line specifies the width of the posts inside the “#container”.
 * This will modifies the size of your main content, where your blog appears.
 * For the side bar width; find the “.main-aside” entry and modify the “width: ”
   element again.
 * The “#main” entry includes the “#container” + “.main-aside”.

 * I meant you tell you, add to your child theme’s stylesheet (/wp-content/themes/
   thematic-child/style.css), don’t modify the original files.
    🙂
