width of main column
-
i’ve realized how absolutely usesless my style sheet is in terms of the width of useful area. eg. 1/3 of the entire page is wasted in 2 sidebars that do nothing exect make up dead space.
I am looking for someone to resolve this for me for a reasonable fee so I have a blog width that gives me a wider main column and also gives me the freedom to continue to use Blogdesk (offline editor) to create a post with images and text and then upload it when I get to internet connection.
Any takers?? It looks like there are dozens if not hundreds of folks out there creating style sheets but I get the impression I will only run into multiple headaches in trying to keep a changeable, custom header photo, adding a map to the blog, and other things as I go along here etc…
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

This comment has nothing to do with making the post column wider, but with all the images you have in your posts on your main page, even with my 5GB internet connection, it took 3 minutes and 45 seconds for your main page to load (yes, I cleared my cache and timed it). With so many images per post, it would be advisable for you to set your blog to display only one post per page (settings > reading). A large number of internet users are still on dialup, and they simply will not spend 20 minutes waiting for your blog to load.
Secondly, many of your larger images are over 200kb file size. Optimize them and get them down under 100k, and it would actually be better if they were down under 50k each. This can be done without effecting image quality much at all. You have to remember that monitors are typically either 72 or 96 dpi, which means resampling your images to 96 dpi will not make a big difference in how they appear on screen.
These are just suggestions and as always, it is your blog and your choice. Personally, if I were coming to your blog from a search engine or such, I would have clicked off of it after about ten seconds because I would not want to wait all that time for the page to load. If I were on slower broadband, or on dial up, I would never visit your site.
