Wilson, to do what you're trying to achieve is considered as a custom code modification. 

Why don't you put all your widgets in the top content area?

Hey Ross,

Actually I just closed them all and now I just want the "newsfeed" area to be bigger that would take over column 1 area. Ok you can move this to custom code modification area, I still need this to happen...so pointing me in the right area would b great Ross.

Thank again for you on going support, really means a lot!

Wilson, if you drag and drop your newsfeed to the Top Content area, it will occupy the whole width of the content page above the column 1 and column 2


If you still want to get rid of column 2, this is a custom code modification. I'll move your post to the custom code modification section.

Hey Ross,

Thanks again....well I tried that but that's not going to work with the client wishes...so go ahead and move this to "custom code modification" section. I'm using Inspect Element and Fire Bug but I just can't figure it out...been looking at the css and changing thing around but no luck..need help.

Just to make it clear, I wish to remove column 1...then move column 2 over.

What about using following CSS:

.ow_wide {
display:none; }

This will hide the left section.

.ow_narrow {
width: 100%;}

This will make the right section wider.

Alternatively you can play around with % values:

.ow_wide {
width: 20%; }
.ow_narrow {
width: 80%;}
