  Hi,

  I am trying to widen the Chunk Theme right main content area for my blog. http://www.oliviance.com. I just want the actual content to be wider, but I don’t want to get rid of the left sidebar. I would like to narrow the left sidebar across the board on my site, affecting every page.

  Please let me know if you need more information.

  Thanks!

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

  Hi there, in chunk, there is an overall container div around the content, and it has to be widened by the same amount you wish to widen the content area by, as does several other things such as the header and menu. Remove the CSS you have now and replace it with the following and see what you think. If it is what you want, then in the “content width” field in the CSS edit window, put 870 to match the width of the new content area so videos and images inserted at full size will take advantage of the new width.

  #container, #header, #menu {
      width: 1090px;
  }
  
  .hentry .main {
      width: 870px;
  }
