    Get into the CSS file and look for the settings for the blogs width. (If it is not in the Presentation Options)

    Try using the FireBug add-on for the FireFox browser and inspect your page with that. You will then be able to see where in your CSS files (including line number) everything is, along with sizes etc.

    The beauty of using FireBug with FireFox is that not only can you find these elements easier, but you can test-edit the CSS files while you view the page using the FireBug tool. Note that it only edits within your current load of the page. Hit refresh and edits disappear. To edit permanently, you have to do that in the actual css file.

    FireBug makes learning and editing CSS quite simple. Once you see your site using FireBug, I think you will see how to fix your problem after a few trial and error edits.

    Good Luck,
    John

    Wow, thanks very much for mentioning this, i think i read someone mentioning firebug before but i must have forgotten all about it, im currently trying to learn CSS, i think this will come in very handy and aid my learning.
