 * Hello- a question in several parts- buddymatic theme, my site is [http://www.informalchemy.com](http://www.informalchemy.com)
   I’m new!
    I’m trying to widen the main column on SOME of my pages: specifically
   the home page and each of the ‘project’ pages. I’m having trouble finding the
   code lines that edit the column widths. My background is white, so I’m under 
   the impression there is no .jpg in the right column overlaying my widened left(
   or main?) column- but I’m not sure. In my styles folder, I have css files titled
   18px, 21px, adminbar, buddypress, classic, default, images, plugins, reset, and
   typography. In ‘buddypress’ I’ve tried altering the pixel width in lines 120,
   124, and 143 but nothing changes on the site. I’ve successfully edited/re loaded
   the typography and default files to make other changes to the site so I’m reasonably
   sure my ftp is working properly. Is ‘buddypress’ the proper file to edit? thanks
   for your time… very much appreciated.

 * The width of your main column is being set here:
 * [http://www.informalchemy.com/wp-content/themes/buddymatic/library/layouts/2c-r-fixed.css](http://www.informalchemy.com/wp-content/themes/buddymatic/library/layouts/2c-r-fixed.css)(
   starting at line 30).
 * #container {
    width:620px; float:left; } #content { margin:0 0 0 10px; width:
   540px; overflow:hidden; }
 * Note that #content is nested inside of #container, so you should widen them both
   by an equal amount.
