Is it possible to hide the first sidebar on only one content type? The default layout for the site includes the first sidebar, but it's in the way on one particular content type and I'm looking for a way to hide it.

Thanks for any advice or suggestions.

Hi,
Try this out,
1. In template.php enable YOURTHEME_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) function.
Under that function add following code : 

if ($vars['node']->type == 'dance_type'){
    $vars['template_files'][] = "page-dance_type";
}

NOTE: Here my content type is 'dance_type'. Please replace it with yours.

2. Take a copy of page.tpl.php (if page.tpl.php is not there copy it from zen/templates/. )and rename it as 'page-dance_type.tpl.php' .
3. Open 'page-dance_type.tpl.php' i.e. newly created template file and remove following code :

<?php print $sidebar_first; ?>

4. Add following css :

body.node-type-dance-type #content {
margin-left:0;
margin-right:-760px;
width:760px;
}

5. Please clear cached data here- admin/settings/performance.

HTH!!

Rgrds,
