  I’m using the Monochrome Theme with a 930px width on my new blog below:

  I want to widen the left side post navigation bar, so that it is exactly the same pixel width as the right side navigation bar. I want to make this change without altering the current size of the remaining site. What code will I need to change in order to accomplish this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It would require the paid CSS upgrade, CSS editing experience, and more importantly some skills with an image editing program. This isn’t so much a CSS job as it is a photoshop job.

  First off you have to create a new image for #header
  Next you have to create a new image for #content
  Next you have to create a new image for #footer

  And they all interlock/match perfectly to produce the dark/white rounded-corner background you see. This theme is as much of a pain to modify as Kubrick, and Kubrick is – to say the least – a challenge.

  I hereby dub Monochrome “Son of Kubrick.”
