    I want to increase the width of the widgets that show in the sidebar of the Going Green theme. I tried editing this code by making the width 300px instead of 260px...

    `.sidebar {
    display: inline;
    float: right;
    font-size: 13px;
    width: 260px;
    }`

    But the sidebar keeps the same padding/margin on the right and starts going into the content area. I looked all over the stylesheet to find where I can changed the padding or margin to account for this, but I can't find it.

    Anyone else know what to tweak to allow me to increase the sidebar width?

    You need to also modify the #content area and also the #inner .wrap areas.

    I see. That makes sense...

    Total width = 1000px

    Content = 650px

    Sidebar = 260px

    Inner wrap padding = 50px

    I'm missing 40px somewhere, but I'll mess with it and see how it goes.
