First thing is, your template needs a column to the left of the content, and then it needs a module position in the column.
Don't HACK the Joomla! core, Instead "Extend" and/or "Override."
Stay ON the update path.

Looks like your containers are restricting the width too small.

.content_gradient {
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #E6E6E9;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
width:600px;
}
template.css (line 148)


and

#content {
margin-right:40px;
text-align:center;
width:577px;
}
template.css (line 160)

#content will be more than its container already because its the width + margin wide.

Your left column is set to 160px and your main column is 500. I would remove the margin on the #content class and set its width to 100%.

Set your width of the .content_gradient class to width of your columns + their margin + padding + borders if you have any on them and then they should fit. You might have to adjust the size of your columns to fit in whatever width you want them to.
