  This question is for a blog that isn’t in my list of blogs on my dashboard. The blog in question located at <http://blog.homeexchange.com/&gt;.
  The owner wants to customize the 2011 theme. I need to widen the sidebar but cannot figure out how to do that. I realize its percentages and the theme is a responsive design theme. How can I get the sidebar to be about 300px wide at maximum width and play nice with the content container to the left of it?

  Thanks.

  Try this:

  #primary { overflow: hidden; padding-right: 0px; width: 680px;}
  
  #content {overflow: hidden; width: 640px;}
  
  #secondary {margin: 0; padding-right: 40px; width: 260px;}

  You can play with the values to fit your needs.
