Can't create the correct width for my blog box Options

[friarblues]

Ok, here's the situation. I'm working on a layout for a friend located: HERE

As you can see, there's a bit of a margin on the left side that is to wide. I'd like to make the text move more to the left while keeping the right side in the same spot.

Here's the prob. In dreamweaver I know that the width of that box should be 340 px. I have the div layer set to that amount. However the text is not filling up that space.

I tried increasing the width, but all that does is move the whole blog text area to the right of my screen without actually increasing the width.

It 'feels' like there's a table that's keeping it from expanding, but I can't see anything like that in my code.

Here's my code.

Anyone able to help me fill that text box correctly?

Also, if you go to my comments section, it doesn't seem to have as much of a left margin. Not sure why.

CODE

<style type="text/css">
/* Aishiteru (AKA. aiaiAI!)//rein.24 */
/* By - Reiri/fishcake-y @ CB[dot]Com */
/* for her personal use only! */
table.blogbody {
/* this edits the other the place where the  blog is */
background-color: #Transparent; width: 490px;}
.leftmoduletitlebar, .leftmoduleborder, .leftmoduleinterior, table.left, table.left TH, table.left TD, table.navigation, table.footer{display: none;}
/* layout crap */
#img{margin-left: -7px!important; margin-left: -8px;}
#masterdiv{position: static; margin-top: -475px; margin-left: 540px; width: 200px;}
#main{position: static;  margin-top: -1450px; height: 593px; margin-left: -20px; width: 500px;}
div.menutitle{text-align: right; border-bottom: 1px solid #FF9999;}
hr {border: 1px solid #FF9999; width:200;}
</style>

So, your table.blogbody width should be about 330px and your div layer width should be 340px.
