    I would like to see an example of how to change my main content to 80% of the page and the sidebar to 20%.

    I also need to change the background color of the widget from black to white.

    I, too, have the same question. I would like to increase the content width on this website: http://www.shopcreativegifts.com

    @creativegifts, on your site you can change the content width to a max of 733px. That's all the room you have in that layout. You'll find the .content CSS in style.css at line 511.

    .content {
        float: right;
        width: 733px;
    }

    Regards,
