 * it might get done by changing these three styles in style.css of twentyten:
 *     ```
       #container {
       	float: left;
       	margin: 0 -240px 0 0;
       	width: 100%;
       }
       #content {
       	margin: 0 280px 0 20px;
       }
       #primary,
       #secondary {
       	float: right;
       	overflow: hidden;
       	width: 220px;
       }
       ```
   
 * just increase any of the numbers over 200 by the same amount.

 * not very mathematically expressed by me –
    what i meant was – for instance you
   want to increase the width of the sidebar by 50px – then these styles should 
   look like:
 *     ```
       #container {
       	float: left;
       	margin: 0 -290px 0 0;
       	width: 100%;
       }
       #content {
       	margin: 0 330px 0 20px;
       }
       #primary,
       #secondary {
       	float: right;
       	overflow: hidden;
       	width: 270px;
       }
       ```
   
 * get the idea?
 * what are your numbers?
    can you post these three styles?
 * (when you post a link to your site, someone could check your css, and have a 
   suggestion; also post a desired width for the sidebar)

 * i think i found it.
 * i just make setting based on the following code:
 *     ```
       #container { float: left; margin: 0 0px 4px 0; width: 628px; }
       #content {width: 590px; overflow:hidden; margin:0 0px 10px 0px;
            padding: 5px 0px 0px 20px;}
       #primary, #secondary { float: right; overflow: hidden; width: 300px;
            margin: 0 0 4px 0;}
       #ttw-top-widget, #ttw-bot-widget {width: 520px;}
       .one-column #content { margin: 0 0 0 80px; padding: 0; width: 800px;}
       ```
