 * Someone created a modified Kubrick for my blog [http://www.midlifemessages.com](http://www.midlifemessages.com)
   
   and I’m using video now and the center column isn’t wide enough… I’ve tried changing
   the css width – but, I don’t really know what I am doing – and nothing seems 
   to have changed. HELP Dr. Toni

 * There are at least two places to change:
 * At line 199 in style.css, change the width parameter of #page from 894px to a
   higher value:
 *     ```
       #page {
       background-color:#FFFFFF;
       border:1px solid #6B0304;
       margin:20px auto;
       padding:0;
       text-align:left;
       width:894px;
       }
       ```
   
 * At line 224 in style.css, change the width parameter of .narrowcolumn from 400px
   to a higher value by the same amount that you changed #page:
 *     ```
       .narrowcolumn {
       margin-left:225px;
       margin-right:8px;
       padding-top:0;
       width:400px;
       z-index:-1;
       }
       ```
   
 * If you change those values very much, you may want to change the header image
   and its size as well. I am guessing that these are options for your theme.
