  I’m trying to widen the area where my content is, but when i do so the sidebar doesn’t look as it should… To be more specific: I want the text to be widen, not more white empty space.
  I’ve tried some css but i didn’t work, no matter how many px i tried:
  #container {
  width: 800px;
  }

  Help anyone? What kind of code to use?

  Hi there!

  Changing the width of a site’s content area can be a pretty involved process because of how responsive design works. Could you post this question over in the CSS forum?
