  Earlier I submitted a question wondering if you can make posts full width. What I mean by that is if it is possible to edit the CSS to where if you click on a post it will come up in the same fashion as a full-width page template.
  Thanks for your help

  That makes the posts move to the left a little bit but it does not make them larger to take up more space.
  Any other suggestions?
  Thanks for your help

  I do not help with CSS editing. This thread is tagged and will be moved to the CSS Forum for you. Please be patient and do not create another thread.

  I checked the blog you selected when you created your help request, and I see it is currently using the Oxygen theme:

  Next, I found two example pages for reference. Here is a page using the full-width page template:

  And here is a recent post:

  I noticed you already have this custom CSS to hide the right sidebar on single posts:

  .single-post #tertiary {
  	display: none;
  }
  .single-post #content {
  	margin-right: 0;
  }

  You can do the same thing to the left sidebar (#secondary) and set the left margin to zero to get an effect that’s more like the full-width page template. In addition to the CSS you already have, add this:

  .single-post #secondary {
  	display: none;
  }
  .single-post #content {
  	margin-left: 0;
  }
