 * For some reason I can not make the two main tables on the left of the page (whats
   new & Online access Tables) to fill the content area width.. the same template
   works for all subpages.. but when I made a subpage into the static frontpage 
   the table width of the 2 tables compresses to 1/3 of the page instead of 2/3rds

 * Use a Browser Developer tool like the one built-into Google Chrome to explore
   these sorts of CSS issues [https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/elements](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/elements).
 * For example, with Google’s Developer Tool I found this [http://snag.gy/ilwGP.jpg](http://snag.gy/ilwGP.jpg).
   The HTML is on the left of the toolbar and CSS applicable on the right. As you
   can see, there’s a width of `48%` on `<div class="hentry">`.

 * Hi Andrew,
 * Thank you for your reply…. Ive made the widths set to 100% on all content on 
   the left side— did not seem to change anything… the odd part this only happens
   when selecting this page as a static home page

 * You probably set 100% to the wrong element.
    It’s not odd that the style only
   applies to the home page, look at that screenshot I posted. Look at the styles
   applied to the highlighted element.

 * I removed all the tables front the content area on the front page.. and just 
   put plain text in the entry… yet the area is still constricted to that same width

 * See this CSS:
 *     ```
       .home .hentry, .archive .hentry, .search .hentry {
           float: left;
           margin-right: 19px;
           padding-bottom: 12px;
           width: 48%;
       }
       ```

 * That’s the same code Andrew was pointing out via the screenshot — tools like 
   Chrome Developer or [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com) are really helpful for CSS
   issues, among other things. So as he suggested, it’s highly recommended to use
   them — they’ll make your life much easier 🙂
