The content is centered because the left and right margins of its wrapper are set to auto (= variable margin, depending on the browser window width, but left and right equal). So you need to set a fixed left margin. Add this in the CSS editor:
#wrapper {
    margin-left: 36px;
}

Change the value to adjust.

Okay, so I'm feeling kind of stupid about this. I just upgraded to the Custom Design feature, and I feel like what I want to do is simple, but it's not working.

I go to appearance, custom design, CSS, which takes me to a preview of my blog with a popup sidebar to put in CSS.

I have tried setting the body margins to 0, and text-align: left, but nothing happens. I want to align the entire page to the left side, and make the content area wider. Here is what I want the page to look like.

Please help. <3

Instead, the full date and comment number appears under the title itself.

I have also tried previewing my blog in other themes, and similar problems happen with this post. For example, in the Little Story theme, this post doesn't have the usual title banner and has no text excerpt. (The text excerpt is the title, a link which leads to the actual post.)

I am using the theme Yoko right now.

The two images are sized off of that with each getting a portion of that 578. Since the sizes are being created independently of the CSS, and being inserted directly into the HTML for the page, there really isn't much way to change it other than you set your content width back to 578px instead of 584px.

But is it possible to keep the content width 584 pixels and "shrink" the text instead? I think it looks nice that small!
If not I will do as you just told me to.

If I told you 584 before, I messed up. I told someone 584.

To increase the gap between the sidebar and the content, I would recommend narrowing the sidebar a little.

Add this and then adjust the width value as desired. 24% looks pretty good to me. :)

#tertiary {
float: right;
width: 24%;
}

Instead of setting a width for the content area (which would break or interfere with the responsive design, it would be better to set either left and right margins, or add left and right padding. This would be my preference.

#content {
    padding-left: 40px;
    padding-right: 40px;
}

You can edit the values as you desire, but I would suggest keeping them the same for balance.
