Content width

[scottnelson]

Thank you for the great theme – it has serve me very well, and there is still so much I am learning.

Is there a way to change the width of the content?  I want my entire table/div/wrapper to go more than 900px.  It would be great to go 1100 or 1200px.

Is there a way to change this?

Thanks!

Hello,

This would involve customizing the CSS from your Child theme and most likely adjusting the image crop sizes of the theme to be larger now that everything surrounding the layout is larger.

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.
