    I've been invited to a pretty major ad network but my sidebar needs to be 300 pixels wide and it is 260 right now. I am using the Pretty Young Thing theme. Any tips/help would be appreciated!

    You'll need to make the content area smaller - look for this and change 640 to about 600:

    .content-sidebar #content, .sidebar-content #content {
    width: 640px;
    }

    Then look for this - change 260 to about 305.

    #sidebar {
    display: inline;
    float: right;
    width: 260px;
    }

    See how this works. If 305 is too small - then adjust the sizes again.

    Making the content smaller isn't an option - there's no way to expand the sidebar out to right at all?

    The you would have to increase the entire Wrap, Inner, Nav, etc., in order to make the change to the sidebar.
