Basically, I am looking to get rid of the whitespace between the left block and the stories section, the border between the right block and the stories section (I figured out where to get rid of the whitespace on that side somewhere in style.css, but couldn't find the corresponding code for the left side), and the white squares below the right and left blocks (I want to fill them in green like the rest of the page).
Does anyone know where the code corresponding to these specific areas resides?
I had already removed the column in leftblocks, but with that Firebug tool I was able to figure out where to fix that one (I have already forgotten where it was). The solution you posted for the right side worked perfectly!
I am still trying to fix a couple of things, illustrated here.
Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of the two empty blocks at the bottom of the left and right columns (with the red X's on them in the screenshot)? Also, I am trying to slightly reduce the text input box in the search block (it is overlapping the border a little, as can be seen inside the red circle). Any ideas? Thanks, TennSeven
