    You need to change the width property of some html elements (that define the center area) and of the flash objects, but, as I see, your site is very bad coded with lots of tables and this makes the layout very hard to change.

    To do this you need strong HTML and CSS knowledge, but at the final the code will be more clean, easier to maintain and more search-engine-friendly. However, there's a lot of work to re-write all of the html code of the website and it doesn't worth the effort if the only thing you want is to enlarge the center area and to reduce the grey margins.

    When you are creating a website you need to think about what you want it to look like from the start. Making big changes later is wasting time which you could spend better elsewhere. For this site, I would find a wider template instead of trying to hack this one about. There are plenty of free ones about. Just add your content in the right places inside the new template. And try to learn something about css as you will need to know about it if you want to do things for yourself.

    If you use the Firefox browser then get the free Firebug extension for it which will let you change the html and css of any web page inside your browser to see what difference it makes. You can even do it on your site.You can't hurt anything as it is only in your browser not the real site. You will learn a lot from this.
