I'm trying to increase the white space to the left and right of #page (much like the acquia.com site), and no matter what I do, I can't get it right, lol. What's the 'correct' way of increasing that space?

any hints would be greatly appreciated...

If you're using 12 columns try this in your global.css

#page .container-12 {
margin: "amount-of-margin";

}

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that, and many variations of it. For whatever reason it sets the left margin, but not the right and the page seems just shifted to the right.

Hmm Try
#page{
padding:100px;
}

that does the trick for me

very very weird-- this adds the padding to the top, bottom, and left-- and the right is shifted over (from being pushed by the left padding) and the white space remains the same.

That's with the core omega 3.1 theme, not even a subtheme. Using firefox. i have to test with other browsers-- maybe it's a firefox thing.
