It would be necessary to increase the width.

If you're interested in getting started with CSS, I recommend checking out http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

I don't know "css" just "html". and is there a way to do that without messing up any other part of the layout? does custom css cost money or is there just an area under "my account" where I can upgrade that. thanks for your help, andrew!

To adjust how wide the posts column is on your site you would need to use a custom CSS upgrade. That would give you full control over your site's stylesheet and visual appearance.

The post template in Twenty Eleven doesn't fill the full width of the theme but with some CSS modifications you would be able to get that set up.
