   Looking at my thematic theme, which is slowly taking shape, there seems to be a lot of white space at the left side/margin. I'm using a 2c-r fixed layout. Which bit of which stylesheet do I change to shift things over to the left?

   Hi,

   just add the following to your child theme's style.css:

   .main-aside {
       width:300px;
   }

   Chris
   .. and increase the width of the sidebar.

   Or add:

   #content {
   width:540px;
   }

   .. and increase the width of the content.

   Hi Chris,

   Thanks for this info. I am pretty new in CSS. I deleted a sidebar from my Thematic wordpress blog and I wanted to widen my pages and make margins look even on both sides of the screen. Would you be kind enough to guide me through? I tried the
   .main-aside {
   width:300px;
   } on my child theme, however it did not work. Thanks in advance.

   do you mean, you've removed sidebar and do not have/wish to have a sidebar?
   if so, you need to target
   #container and #content

   set the #container and #content to the width of your liking and and then using margin:0 auto;

   e.g
   

   #container {
   width:600px;
   margin:0 auto;
   }
   #content {
   width:600px;
   }

   you dont not have to specify the width of #content as it will fill up available space in #container, but that said, if your css already has a value width for #content, change or delete it. jeez, i ramble.

   try the code above and see how you get on. paste in style.css

   hope this helps.
