I've been trying to post a block in the "Below content" area. Unfortunately the size is about the width of the right column -- even when I put something large (large amount of text, an image, a table) in the block. I'm currently trying to put in a table (2x2) which looks fine in a Blog or Page, but when I stick it in a block below content it doesn't work. (You can see it here: http://www.askgriff.com/node/19)

Thanks in advance!

I am having this issues as well. Very small blocks when placed under the main content area. Everything is squished.

The issue is on style.css line 511 with the .widget definition it defines a width of 225 pixels (which works great for blocks in the sidebar) which is why the region seems so small in the main content area.

One possible solution is to be more specific with that definition for example #sidebar .widget that way the styles are targeted to blocks in the sidebar only and won't impact the blocks in the main content area. If you go that route you might want to remove some of the background image styling.
