I'm using the 3-column format but would actually like to make the center column smaller, and the outside columns wider... any ideas?

This thread:

shows how to modify your blog's style template which is a set of CSS codes which allow you to fine tune the look and feel of your weblog.

This thread:

shows how to use the style template to alter the width of the sidebars. This code:

Code:
table.columns td.right, table.columns td.left {
    width: 30%;
}


worked well for me to expand the sidebar widths and reduce the size of the center column.

These were helpful to me too, as i wanted to control the overal width of mine.

Now I would like to control the color of the space SURROUNDING the blog, just as the BlogHarbor is surrounded by green. I'm sure this is done modifying the style template, but my css chops are.... not!

Can you point me in the right direction?

Muchas gracias,

Paco

Change the outside color by changing the background color of the body, like this:

Code:
body {
    background-color: darkolivegreen;
}


Use the color chart here: To find the color you prefer.
