designsimply on "modify content width for ONE page (not global)"

I checked the original stylesheet for the Contempt theme, and I found that the width for the content area is normally 450px. See https://s-ssl.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/contempt/style.css?m=1354395942g&minify=false

If you have added CSS like this on your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page to adjust the width to 650px throughout the whole site:

#content {
width:650px;
}

The you can override that just on the blog page with CSS like this:

.blog #content {
width: 450px;
}

Adjust the width number as necessary. Note that this CSS is specific to the Contempt theme.

Working with Contempt theme & Custom CSS. I've used the following CSS to increase the content width on my pages globally:

#content {
width:650px;
}

How can I make an exception to this CSS rule? I'd like the Blog page to have standard width (not 650px)

Thank you,
Cheryl
