The link in your profile doesn't work.

Most themes use narrowcolumn and widecolumn to define the main column within WordPress. See if there are width settings under those.

I know nothing about css and there were no beloved geeks responding to you so I gave you the url's for research materials I could find. I think "liquid width" may be the answer but I'll leave it to the techno-set to respond to you from here on out. Best of luck. :)

I can move the side column up by messing with some numbers but when I do, it disappears under white space (my background). Not sure if that makes sense but hey, I have almost no idea what I am doing so cut me some slack :P

Im really trying but this stuff looks like some crazy alien language to a beginner.

I have no expertise whatsoever but I have a hunch the answer maybe found in one of the resource materials listed in this thread

And then there's this on "liquid width"

Also I notice that on http://wordpress.org/support there is a thread on changing whole theme width

So far, I have been finding the information I need to (after lots of trial and error and surfing the net, but whatever :P ) but I ask this. How do I make my main column wider? I have been trying to figure it out but I cant. Im not sure if maybe some code (not sure on terminology here) I put in is interfering with making the column wider but I am stumped.

I have been able to make my side column smaller by adding margins but I dont know how to change margins for the main column.
