Generate Theme: Modify Width

[Jason Price]

Is there any guidance on how to modify the Generate theme width?  I'd like the rt sidebar to contain a 300/250 ad unit and for the main content and any other sections to be adjusted accordingly so everything fits within the overall site width.  Thanks in advance for your help.

The sidebar width on Generate is 230px with 80px of right and left padding.

If you want to widen the display area in the sidebar to 300 visible px and keep the current site width, making the following css changes to add 70px to the sidebar and remove it from the content area:

.sidebar {

width: 300px;

}

.content-sidebar #content, .sidebar-content #content {
width: 500px;
}

Thank you, Diane.  Your tip was helpful!  However, I now have the content pushed together too tight and the two columns for the posts (under the full post) are running together.  I think I now need to extend the width for the entire content/sidebar area (and other applicable areas (header, etc.)) for the site.

Thanks again for any assistance you or others can provide.

Diane, thank you!  What would I need to do expand the width?  Some of the content gets bunched together now.
