  This is a pretty big job and exactly how big depends on what theme you are using. Please provide a link to your blog so that I can look at it and the CSS for your particular theme.

  It’s getting late where I am and I’ll take a look and see if I can give you a quick answer. If not, I’ll post back here and then work on it in the morning for you.

  This was easier than I though it would be with this theme. Add ONLY the following to the CSS edit window and make sure that “add to existing…” is selected. Use the preview to make sure it works.

  #content {
  margin-left: 20px;
  }
  
  #sidebar {
  float: right;
  left: 0;
  padding-right: 20px;
  }

  There is quite a bit of white space showing to the right of the sidebar, but that is because the sidebar has a width of 180px to accommodate wider stuff and longer strings of text.

  You know, you might want to use the following instead. I increased margin-left and padding right to more closely match the original left and right margins.

  #content {
  margin-left: 40px;
  }
  
  #sidebar {
  float: right;
  left: 0;
  padding-right: 30px;
  }
