    Hi,
    I would like to make my sidebar narrower (I am only using one) and my main column wider... I am customizing the Sample child theme.

    Ideally, I would like it to be responsive, with the sidebar taking up one third and the main column two-thirds.

    Is that possible?

    Here's my site:

    Thanks!

    Yes or you could add a custom layout option http://wpsites.net/web-design/flexible-custom-layouts-for-studiopress-themes/
