  Hi there,
  I recently switched to the Structure theme and I was wondering if it’s possible to get rid of the left sidebar and have the categories with the rest of the widgets in the right sidebar.
  Ideally the posts images would align with the featured post down the left side.
  Thanks a lot for your help.

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

  Add this to your CSS and see what you think. Since the size of the feature images is set in the theme php script files, we cannot change them, and what I’ve done below asks the browser to make the images bigger, and browsers are lousy at that and the images lose sharpness and quality. See what you thing though.

  .home #sidebar_left {
      display: none;
  }
  
  .home .homepagemid {
      width: 620px;
  }
  
  .home .homepagethumb, .home .homepagethumb img {
      width: 620px;
      height: auto;
  }

  Oh yeah, and then just go to appearance > widgets and add the categories widget to the right sidebar.

  That’s great thanks so much for that! I’m sure it’s an easy one but I’m not sure how to work it out : is there a way to get the feature headline centered with the feature image? Adjusting the padding maybe?
  Thanks again that looks much better.

  This will do it, but if the title changes in length (gets longer) things could blow up on you. :)

  #content #homepagetop h3 {
  width: 620px;
  }
