:) so i was using power blog to play around and learn and i found a post here that told me how to target the css for a specific page template.
.template-page-fullwidth-php, #content {width:988px;} ?right.
so i did that, and it appeared to work, but when i switched the template of that page back to default, the width was still 988 and over lapping the sidebars..
any idea?
