    How would I go about making the width of the two sidebars equal. At present the primary sidebar is wider than the secondary sidebar.

    Thanks for the response Jeremy, site is in development and I'm using the standard NewPro theme.
    This is the area I'm experimenting with trying to resolve the widths in css

    /* Column Widths and Positions
    --------------------------------------------- */

    /* Wrapping div for .content and .sidebar-primary */

    .content-sidebar-sidebar .content-sidebar-wrap,
    .sidebar-content-sidebar .content-sidebar-wrap,
    .sidebar-sidebar-content .content-sidebar-wrap {
    /*width: 960px;*/
    width: 910px;
    }

    .content-sidebar-sidebar .content-sidebar-wrap {
    float: left;
    }

    .sidebar-content-sidebar .content-sidebar-wrap,
    .sidebar-sidebar-content .content-sidebar-wrap {
    float: right;
    }

    /* Content */

    .content {
    float: right;
    width: 778px;
    }

    .content-sidebar .content,
    .content-sidebar-sidebar .content {
    border-right: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
    float: left;
    }

    .sidebar-content-sidebar .content {
    /* border-left: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
    border-right: 1px solid #e3e3e3; */
    border-left: 1px solid #1b4269;
    border-right: 1px solid#1b4269;
    border-top: 1px solid #1b4269;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #1b4269;
    float: left;
    }

    .sidebar-content .content,
    .sidebar-sidebar-content .content {
    border-left: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
    }

    .content-sidebar-sidebar .content,
    .sidebar-content-sidebar .content,
    .sidebar-sidebar-content .content {
    width: 600px;
    }

    .full-width-content .content {
    width: 100%;
    }

    /* Primary Sidebar */

    .sidebar-primary {
    float: right;
    /*width: 360px;*/
    width: 310px;
    }

    .sidebar-content .sidebar-primary,
    .sidebar-sidebar-content .sidebar-primary {
    float: left;
    }

    .sidebar-sidebar-content .sidebar-primary {
    border-left: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
    }

    .content-sidebar-sidebar .sidebar-primary {
    border-right: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
    }

    /* Secondary Sidebar */

    .sidebar-secondary {
    float: left;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-size: 1.4rem;
    /*width: 178px;*/
    width: 228px;
    }

    .content-sidebar-sidebar .sidebar-secondary {
    float: right;
    }
    The changes I've made are below the commented out original settings.

    As a point of interest, If anyone else wants to change the side bar widths, then here is a brief explanation.

    How to change Sidebar widths by Arun Pal Singh http://homeforprofits.com/wordpress/how-to-change-sidebar-width-in-your-genesis-child-theme/

    It's very basic, but was the nudge in the direction I needed to know.
