 * I recently increased the size of the frame on the old WordPress Default theme
   but I am having issues getting the sidebar to show up in its usual location.
 * Here is a link to my site: [http://thecutoffman.com/](http://thecutoffman.com/)
 * Any idea what changes I should make?

 * you have these styles:
 *     ```
       .narrowcolumn {
       	float: left;
       	padding: 0 0 20px 45px;
       	margin: 0px 0 0;
       	width: 450px;
       	}
       ```
   
 * and much further down:
 *     ```
       #sidebar
       {
       	padding: 20px 0 10px 0;
       	margin-left: 545px;
       	width: 390px;
       	}
       ```
   
 * these are defining the width, and location, of the content area and the sidebar.
 * if you want the sidebar back to the original width and position, adjust the widths
   in both styles, and margin-left in the #sidebar style.

 * Thanks a ton man!
 * Any idea how to get the individual post page ([http://thecutoffman.com/?p=1](http://thecutoffman.com/?p=1))
   to look exactly like the front page ([http://thecutoffman.com/](http://thecutoffman.com/))?
   I don’t like the way the sidebar disappears.

 * in single.php, you need to exchange ‘widecolumn’ with ‘narrowcolumn’ (i think
   it is in the #content div ?) and add the `<?php get_sidebar(); ?>` code into 
   the same position as in index.php.
 * (similar in page.php for static pages)
