  The easiest way to do all that is to use the Firebug add-on for Firefox. You can quickly locate the IDs and classes used for specific elements and even try out CSS changes on the fly in real-time.

  The right sidebar is under #primary The line-height for the content is under #content, #content input, #content textarea

  You will also have to adjust the right margin to zero in #content to recover the space vacated by the sidebar.

  #content {
  margin:0 0 0 20px;
  }

  Play around with firebug a little. Use the “inspector” (little square box with arrow cursor at left end of the toolbar) and then hover over different elements in the page and it will highlight where they are in the HTML and in the CSS. If you hover over the lines in the HTML side of the frame (with the inspector inactive), it will highlight where those elements are on the page.

  You need to add the following to the bottom of your CSS. You do NOT have it in your CSS.

  #content {
  margin:0 0 0 20px;
  }

  If you are relying on the preview function then you might have to force refresh the preview page since the preview function has basically been broken for about six months.

  Sorry, posted in the wrong thread. See the other thread for more information including a screenshot of your blog with the above CSS applied to it.
