Darn margins.. Make main area smaller.. How?

Your theme has a fixed width of 760 pixels. If you increase the sidebar width, you must decrease something else to make up for that. You can’t just add 30px in one place without taking away 30px somewhere else.

Umm.. Yes what he said.. That was actually what I meant – as the headline says too ??
I want to take the 30px away from the middle area but how? I’m not supposed to make a margin for the main area?

/* Content */
#content {line-height:1.6em; margin:0 155px 5px; padding:0;}
#contentwide {line-height:1.6em; margin:0 0 5px 150px; padding:0;}

Have you modified any of this code? There does not appear to be a width specified for the content area.

The designer of this theme only used 3 values to define the margins for the content area. 0 applies to the top, 155px applies to both right and left, and 5px applies to the bottom. If you want to apply different margins to the 2 sides, you will need to use 4 values as follows:

1st value: top
2nd value: right
3rd value: bottom
4th value: left

Leave the left value at 155px and tinker with the right until you get the spacing you want.

Ok so the #content line controls the grey bar.. The #contentwide controls what I have in my “about me” page, but I can’t fix the little tab it moves in in the first few lines, unless I move it down like 100px.. ??

I fixed the grey bar to the size I like, but I’d still like to make a small right margin for the text part. I feel like I’ve tried adjusting all there is – I know I haven’t but I don’t know where to start..
