.content article {
	margin-left: 50px;
	margin-right: 50px;
}

Adjust the 50px values as necessary.

But then it created a large space between my post and my sidebar which I don't like the look of. I guess what I want is to be able to make the side margins wider so the width of my content gets smaller....am I kind of wishing for something that's not possible? I have no idea what I'm doing so I really appreciate the help!!

<br /> .home #content {<br /> width: 780px;<br /> margin-left: 30px;<br /> }<br />
This will only change it on your home page -- is that what you want?

Is there a way to make the left/right margins larger so that it shrinks the width of my post. Also, I don't want to change the width of sidebar that displays the widgets, I'd like that to stay as is.
