Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

OK, an HTML coding question

I need to tweak the widths of the padding/margins on this webpage, so the sidebar doesn't kick to the bottom. I don't know enough about the various pieces of this page to be able to fix it myself. I keep trying, but unsuccessfully.

The basic issue is that the width of the main body of text is 400 pixels but it usually runs around 425, and the sidebar is 220 pixels, and the total width of column + sidebar is supposed to be no more than 692 pixels.

What I want to do is instruct the page to make the margins on either side (the big green bars on either side of the white stuff) smaller, so that the column and sidebar runs next to each other.

Anyone who can shed light on this?

Below is the all relevant code (I think).

Thanks.

#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
width: 692px;
text-align: left;
background: #fff url(http://www.blogblog.com/moto_son/innerwrap.gif) top right repeat-y;
font-size:90%;
}

/* Header */

}

#blog-header h1 {

margin: 0;
background-image: url(http://www.blogblog.com/moto_son/topper.gif);

}
#blog-header p {
