    Hey

    On the right hand side of my blog there was a sidebar, I deleted that…now I’m wondering how do I stretch the my blog posts across over the column as I never plan to use it.

    Here is my blog: https://benbrandes.com

    I look forward to hearing your reply, thanks in advance!!

  • You need to modify your css to change the size of the column.

    It looks like it would be the width of your #content div.

    Hey thanks for the quick reply!

    Umm I dont fully understand, please elaborate. Im noob :$

    Thanks

    Your theme is styled by css. In your theme folder there’s a file called style.css, or something similar.

    MAKE A COPY OF IT BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES.

    The column you want to change is in a div with id=”content”. Look in the style.css until you find #content. There’s a “width” parameter. Make it larger, but not too large. Save your changes and upload to your theme folder. Load your site in your browser to see if you like the results. Lather, rinse, repeat.

    If you really hose things up, just upload the copy you made of the original style.css. You did make a copy, right?

    You will need to learn a fair bit of css if you want to make modifications to your theme.

    W3 Schools has a decent free tutorial.

    Thank you so much! I actually did that from your first post…but I made it too big and it moved it down so I thought it was the wrong one.

    I really appreciate your help, have a great week!
