    I've been searching and experimenting with possible solutions to no avail. On the page http://giggleloopsy.com/face-painting-denver and every other page (including the home page), I'd like the content area to be wider.

    Or, more specifically, the margins to be reduced. I want the content to stretch out on the page so there is not wasted space on the left and right sides of the page.

    I tried simply widening the content area, but when I did that it pushed all the content on the right sidebar down the page.

    Thanks in advance for any help on this. It's driving me nuts!

    If you widen the content area you also need to widen the site-container and the site-inner. You could also reduce the padding and the width of the border.

    Awesome. I messed with the site-inner, but not the site-container. How would I go about widening the site-container?

    Thanks!

    In the css file, find the tags and change the widths.
