 * I would bet any value after ‘width’…
 * Although hard to say with only the css, but .left and .main, .right, .sidebar
   and all single- variants with ‘width’ in them

 * what exactly are you trying to achieve? Is it the size of the single posts, or
   of your home page (the three column thingy)?

 * single post page, changing the size of both the sidebar and post text would bring
   back the borders

 * It’ not the size: you’re missing the border in
    body #content { background: url(
   images/singlebg.gif) repeat-y; min-height:500px; height:auto !important; height:
   500px; **border: 1px solid #EAEAEA; }

   show by editing the pages in your theme…..
