I use a default left-side block on my Drupal site (which currently presents only blogs).

I want the width of my block and content-presentation areas to remain the same. That is, when switching views, I want the content-presentation spaces to be "jumping around" in width, thus giving the user a sense of stability (among other things).

I suspect it may be easiest to try and make the left-side block that I have use a fixed-width/margin. How might I do this?

Alternatively, is there another means to solve my problem?

To clarify: I want this to be theme-independent. I want to make one block-margin-max-size setting that applies to all themes (or any other flavor of presentation).

Does Drupal provide the means to do this?

If not, can someone point me at best places to change code to support this feature?

The best way to affect presentation would be applying some CSS rules, but the theme-specific CSS will ALWAYS override any core CSS or module CSS rules that you write. To do what you want, you have to figure out how to @import a stylesheet *after* the theme-specific styles.
