How Can I Change This Code to Get Rid of One of the Columns?

I just bought a new blog theme for my site convertingcopy.com (so you can see what I want) and I want to change the look from the 2 columns on the main page to just 1. The guy won't get into how to fix it but mentioned that changes need to be made starting at this point in the code which I've pasted below... so can anyone set me straight as to what to change?:

#content div#posts .post {
margin-right:11px;
background:url(images/post_bg.gif) repeat-y;
width:278px;
float:left;
margin-bottom:11px
}

#content div#posts .post.right {
margin-right:0
}

#content div#posts .post .categorie,#content div#posts.teal .post .categorie {
background:url(images/post_top.png);
height:33px;
width:278px;
color:#fff;
line-height:33px
}
#change #code #columns #rid

    if you change the width of your site, which is the first column, than you should have your content area filled with your current posts. Try to increase width with 10px until you get it right! Goodluck

    ahh, a themeforest theme.

    try this..

    #content div#posts .post {
    margin-right:11px;
    background:url(images/post_bg.gif) repeat-y;
    width:400px;
    float:left;
    margin-bottom:11px
    }

    #content div#posts .post.right {
    margin-right:0
    }

    #content div#posts .post .categorie,#content div#posts.teal .post .categorie {
    background:url(images/post_top.png);
    height:33px;
    width:400px;
    color:#fff;
    line-height:33px
    }
    I only made two changes, which are BOLD, that should make your little boxes wider. You'll have to play with those numbers to get the right widths.

    You'll also need to find the css for your scrollers width and chnage that as well. 865px widgh and 300px height should look pretty good.

      I know I need to fix the images still, but changing the widths still didn't push the second column out of the way. Forgive me I'm pretty daft with coding.

    I've since tweaked the images to match the new widths and I uploaded them to my site as you can see (convertingcopy.com), yet the second column still exists and is cutting into my first one. Suggestions?

      Try to post your issue on the wordpress supporting forums. They will probably solve your issue faster!
