  HI all,
  I would like to customize Neo-Sapien theme to expand the middle column by approx. 200px (about 700px total). I have played around with customizing but I can’t seem to find a way to stop the two sidebars on the right from floating down to the bottom of the browser, under the middle column.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

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

  The main column and the sidebars are all inside a fixed-width box (wrapper), so if you only increase the main column width there’s no room left for the right sidebars: if you want to increase .narrowcolumn by 200px, you must also increase #wrapper by 200px.

  To see how a blog is structured, and what you need to change, you should learn to use the Firebug add-on in Firefox or similar developer extensions in other browsers.

  Thank you so much! I discovered the wonders of Chrome’s developer tool. I didn’t see the Wrapper div, changed it, and it works perfectly. Thank you for taking time to answer my post.

  You’re welcome.
  (And I’m curious to see what you’re going to do with the header image!)

  hah! That was my next challenge! I increased the #header width and change the background to red, though I’m not sure I like it red. I’ll be playing around with that for a while I think. :)
