  I would like to remove the right side widget area and widen the posts across that area. Is this possible?

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

  I thought of one way to do it, but it uses CSS3 and so note that this will only work in modern browsers. Try adding this to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor:

  .page-template-showcase-php #content {
  	margin-right: 0;
  }
  
  .more-articles div article:nth-child(2),
  .more-articles div article:nth-child(2n+3) {
  	left: 50% !important;
  }

  It doesn’t cover the featured images under recent posts, and I’m afraid there’s not away to customize those via HTML or PHP to get them added at a different size. You can try making the width of those images 100% to fill up the space in the container, but it might make some of the images look distorted.

  .featured-image img {
  	width: 100%;
  }
