   code, but main text is still within the confines as if sidebar were sill present.

 * You still have div id=”content” at 519px. Change the conent style in the stylesheet(
   line 99) to look like this:
 *     ```
       #content {
       color:#656565;
       display:inline;
       float:left;
       font-size:100%;
       line-height:1.5em;
       text-align:left;
       width:770px;
       margin:15px 0 0 14px;
       padding:5px 0 14px;
       border:0px #ccc solid;
       }
       ```
   
 * 770px is the width of the container it sits in and therefore this will make it
   the right width.
