Help with making right column larger

[sheryl weinberger]

Hi!

I have a 3 column layout - http://singlestravelandevents.com   I have tried 2 different ways to make the right column larger

When I use this - everything looks good on my home page but all the administrator pages become 1 column and unreadable.

.xg_theme #xg_head, .xg_theme #xg_body, .xg_theme #xg_foot, .xg_theme #xg {
    width: 1055px;
}

#column2 {
    width: 300px;
}

When I tried this one - then I get a large margin but the text boxes still remain small and I don't know how to make them bigger. 

#xg {
display:block;
width:1087px;
}

#xg_body {
width:1077px;
}
 

#xg_foot {
width:1067px;
}

#right_column {
width:315px;
}
.feed-story {
border: 1px solid #E4E4E4!important;
border-radius: 5px!important;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px!important;
-moz-border-radius: 5px!important;
clear: both;
min-height: 48px;
padding:10px;
position: relative;
word-wrap: break-word;
margin:10px 0 20px 60px!important;
background-color: #efefef!important;
}

I really appreciate the help.  I am going back to the first one for now - at least the site looks good to the members.

Thanks,

Sheryl

Okay I think I have it ..  For all those who want to make a right column bigger and get the text boxes to get bigger too.

Here is the code - thanks Bernard for your help!!

You can see how it works on my website - http://singlestravelandevents.com/  Oh and if you are single join the club :-)

#xg {
display:block;
width:1087px;
}

#xg_body {
width:1077px;
}
 

#xg_foot {
width:1067px;
}

#right_column {
width:315px;
}

.xg_span-5 {
width: 314px;
}

Keep changing the width size (smaller than what I have given) and try again..

Just 1 more question if you don't mind - I am trying to upload photos into the text box that we just made bigger - but the largest photo is only 220 pixel - which does not fill up the box and I have tried chnging the pixel in the html - but it always reverts to 220 when saved? 

I am able to make a colored box that is big enough to fill the text box, so I am confused and stuck

Any ideas?

Thanks again...
