      Hi Wes,

      Can I change something that will allow me to have the right ‘margin’ of the site move further right-wards, and the left side ‘margin’ move further left-wards, essentially further separating the Content from the Sidebar? Is that possible?

      Thanx,

        You’ll have to be more specific. Are you asking how to increase the width of the entire site?…..Or are you asking how to decrease or increase the content area space in between the content and sidebar?

          Well, frankly I don’t know what’s possible. I figure that the site was originally designed with certain functional & esthetic goals in mind. So,

          If the width of the entire site is increased, how does that affect the look of the mobile version? I don’t know.

          When I updated Genesis to the latest version I remember seeing some mention of ‘now it’s wider’ but I didn’t think much about it at the time. Since then,

          I’ve thought I’d like a bit more empty space between the content and the right sidebar but I don’t know how to achieve that. And too, I wonder if  a change like that  would also effect the Header width which I might also like.  A wider content area? probably not the goal now.

          Essentially I’m going for a more open uncluttered look….your suggestions are appreciated Eric.

          Thanx,

          Tom

            Well to add more space in between the content and sidebar, you could just decrease the content width around line 548 in your css.

            .content-sidebar #content,
            .sidebar-content #content {
            width: 580px;
            }

              That’s one solution. A main feature of the site are the videos which I have always embedded from YouTube and I imagine I’ll continue that procedure. If I narrow the content area the result might not be good for the videos.

              Well, in lieu of having my main content are look like a newspaper column I think I’ll leave well-enuf alone for the moment.

              Thanx Eric.
