  We need a link to the blog you are talking about. The one linked to your username is using Vigilance.

  Assuming you are either talking about a different blog or are going to switch to fadtastic, the following will do what you want.

  div#content {
  margin-right: 460px;
  }
  
  div#side_one {
  margin: 0 10px 0 -220px;
  width: 200px;
  }
  
  div#side_two {
  margin: 0 10px 0 -440px;
  width: 200px;
  }

  In the “Limit width to” field down below the CSS edit text area, subtract 80px from the 544px value shown there otherwise images inserted at “full-sized will likely break the blog.

  Hi, theSacredPath,

  And how would you go the other way? That is, I am using Vigilance, and I want my mainbar to be wider, and the sidebar width to be narrower.

  How do I override that? Let’s say I wanted my mainbar to be 50px wider than what it is right now, and the sidebars to be 50px narrower.

  What’s the CSS? Thank you…

  This takes 50px off the sidebar and adds 50px to the width of the main content area in Vigilance.

  #content {
  width: 650px;
  }
  
  #sidebar {
  width: 250px;
  }

  Thank you!! I thought this was the fix, but it’s always nice to get confirmation before moving forward…
