Mulder
can you post a link to your journal? Without being able to see exactly what element is "squished", I'd suggest that you increase the width here:

CODE
pageblock{     width:600px;     margin: 0 auto;     background-color: black;     }

The middle column next to the ads when my writing is. Can I make that bigger so it's not so compacted and the words are spaced out a bit?

The reason it's so squished is you have so little space being shared among 3 columns.

Do what I said earlier, and then decrease the sidebar width (.sidebar)
Also, you might want to hide your userpics, as well as switch to Flexible Squares (with a new layout of course), because the ads are placed in the sidebar.

Thank you! I did what you said and it worked!
