I would like to make the layout width 850px but the center column 700. How do I tell the theme to make the center column only 700px?

I'd use just one sidebar and make it around 140px wide, leaving some pixels for padding. Or if you use 2 sidebars, they've got to be pretty narrow.

I'm not sure I want to use sidebars because I've got an image I want to use as the background for the layout. the page is located at http:// mandybass.com / get wired

without the spaces before/after the '/' I'm trying to continue the border around the sales copy.

I have added .coltwo { width: 700px; } to the css style sheet but that doesn't seem to be helping.

figured it out myself! Whoo hoo. Page looking good now!
