I was able to remove the sidebar from my blog posts themselves, but this now leaves a big white space on the right of the page where the sidebar used to be. How do I expand the width of my post to be the full size of the page (centered on the browser, example: http://www.elisadoucette.com/purging-the-toxic-from-life/) Also, is there any way to customize the sidebar to use selected and created widgets in the blog page sidebar rather than the programmed ones?
