I'm thinking of changing some stuff in my "other" column (with a two-column format), and I need to know how many pixels wide that column is, please? I don't want to try to put something there that won't fit. The projected content is 200 pixels wide.

I tried to see that stuff in "look & feel", but couldn't find it. Then I tried the manual, but it gives no details of that sort (possibly because those can be customized?).

The sidebar on most color schemes is set to be a percentage of the overall page width, but will expand if necessary. It looks like on your blog your sidebar currently has a minimum width of just under 200 pixels, so if you add a component which requires a width of 200 pixels your sidebar column will only expand a few pixels, you probably won't even notice the difference.

Thank you very much!!

I had thought it looked as though 200 pixels would fit. Do all of the different styles adjust automatically? It hadn't occurred to me that it would (or ever could) be set to expand to the width of insrted items.

Yes, your columns should expand to accomodate the width of whatever you put in them in any of the color schemes, which might actually be undesirable at times... It's the HTML language itself that's doing the work. By default, most containers will expand as necessary.
