 * Hi everyone,
    I needed to get rid of my sidebar, so I deleted all references 
   of <?php get_sidebar(); ?> in my files and also deleted sidebar.php. However,
   now there is whitespace where the bar used to be. I’m assuming this is a CSS 
   issue. Here is my style file. My website is [URL redacted]. Can anyone help me
   out? How do I get rid of the whitespace?

 * a link would have been enough – no need to post all this css code, as it is easy
   to retrieve from the browser.
 * your content is already stretching across the new space. what you see as sidebar
   comes from this background image: [http://minervandialogues.com/wp-content/themes/shades-of-blue/images/wrap.png](http://minervandialogues.com/wp-content/themes/shades-of-blue/images/wrap.png)
 * referenced in style.css here:
 *     ```
       #wrap {
       background: #FFFFFF url(images/wrap.png);
       width: 960px;
       .....
       ```
   
 * just delete the ‘url(images/wrap.png)’
    leave the semicolon ; at the end of the
   line.
