    Page: http://wp-hbay.capiratech.com

    I'm trying to have 3 columns in the main content area all equal sizes --- I've managed to adjust the right column so that it's 28%, using:

    #sidebar-alt.sidebar.widget-area {
    width: 28%; }

    NOW the issue, however, is the width of the left- and middle columns — they are too wide, so this sidebar is now being pushed down. I can’t find the css code for these ... Any idea? I think it’s some combination of:

    .content-sidebaralt
    #content-sidebar-wrap
    .sidebaralt-content
    #content-sidebar-wrap {

    You could use content columns with the full width layout.

    Hm, but the left- and middle columns are pulling from posts ---- so I can't hard code that content.

    Ok so you already use this layout and just want to make the widths equal?

    I assume you want to modify an existing layout that your theme includes.

    Like the sidebar-content-sidebar layout?

    Yes! I've actually adjusted the right-sidebar by altering the following css:

    #sidebar-alt.sidebar.widget-area {
    width: 28%; }

    But now I want to adjust the left column so that it has a width of 70% so that all 3 fit across ..... does that make sense?
