How do you increase the width ?

Hi!
I am also using the Carrington theme but am having some challenges I hope you can help me with. I have installed the WP cumulus widget for tag cloud which I love, but cannot get rid of the original static tag cloud. Please check it out at http://newbie-news.net, so you’ll see what I mean.
Also, I would like to have just a single right sidebar which is wider, than the 2 which chop up my stuff. Any help you can give me would be awesome!

@Jacob: I’m afraid there are limitations to adjusting the theme’s width for the posts. The images you have seem too big for carrington. Unless you also resize the sidebar width

I know this is a good bit of time after the Original Post, but I am struggling modifying the width of my current wordpress theme. I am usually pretty at figuring this sort of thing out, it generally takes a bit of searching but when you see something like width=700px, you can modify it, refresh the page, and see if that was the change you needed. However, I am finding that is not the case with this Carrington theme I am using. My website is http://www.jacobwcrosby.net and as you can see the images I post are too wide for the main column. I am not willing to change the width of my posts, changing the theme should be easy enough… Wonderind if you would help me with this…

Thank you,

Jacob

Hi, I’ve already installed Carrington theme in my hosted site. I’ve gone through your post and learnt that it’s possible to use Image Logo instead of text. Would you please tell me how I can do this?

@Bill: sure no problem, You can go to the “Style.CSS” in this theme and edit from there. Find the word Sidebar and you’ll find the settings there. But how I’ve done it was a series of trial and error process so make sure to have backup in case it goes wrong.

Let me know if there’s anything else I could help you out with Bill.

Hi. I know this isn’t a help forum but was wondering if you might know: (Found your post via google “tweaking carrington”.) I’m trying to widen the main post settings from Carrington’s default, to 570 px. Using Firebug, I can tweak it and make it look right but as of yet, haven’t been able to find which file in the Carrington theme needs changing. Firebug shows this (after tweaking):
If you can suggest where the change is needed, I’d be most thankful.
