I'd like to change the dimensions of the image that displays on my homepage lead story(http://www.oregoncoastdigest.com) to 350x260 instead of the current 200x200 square.

I can change the parameters in this line in my child theme's index.php:
//$image = get_post_image(200, 200);//

But how do I change the width of the text?

I don't want to resize the lead story box itself, just the post text.

This is what's there now, which you'll want to overwrite in your child theme - 

#home #lead .right {
width:375px;
}

That worked - sort of. It didn't make any difference when I added it to the child theme style.css. But when I went back into the mimbopro parent theme and made the changes in the /css/home.css file it worked fine.

I'd rather have the changes in the child theme, of course, so I created a /css/home.css there but the child theme didn't see it. Nor could it see the home.css when it was added to the main directory of the child theme.

Any ideas?

Could you try something like:

#home #lead .right {
width:325px !important;
}
