 * I know this has been discussed before but couldn’t make it work.
 * Aiming to create narrower sidebar and wider post area in Modularity Lite – this
   is so I can embed video URLs. At present I have to resize using embed code. YouTube’s
   HD vids come in at 640px so this is the post width I need.
 * See: [http://www.babelfiche.net](http://www.babelfiche.net)
 * Tried out advice in previous topic. In wp-content/library/styles, by editing 
   screen.css
 *     ```
       .span-8 {width:310px;}
       .span-15 {width:590px;}
       ```
   
 * was changed to …
 *     ```
       .span-8 {width:260px;}
       .span-15 {width:640px;}
       ```
   
 * I understand that in Modularity Lite theme editor, style.css incorporates screen.
   css by:
 *     ```
       /************************* IMPORT CSS GRID ***************************/
   
       @import url(library/styles/screen.css);
       ```
   
 * However the new span widths don’t work to change post & sidebar.
 * Can anyone see where I’m going wrong? Any advice appreciated.

 * I just used Firebug; your content is now 660 wide
 * So you seem to have fixed it??
 * If you install Firefox Firebug then when you visit your website you can immediately
   see the css styling plus line numbers for those spans

 * Thanks for taking a look, 123milliseconds.
 * It has indeed corrected itself. All that was needed was patience on my part to
   wait for the FTP upload of the new screen.css to kick in.
 * Anyhow at least it’s there as example of how to change column widths.
    Cheers
