[Theme: Twenty Thirteen] A few problems with the styling

  • I think the theme itself is fantastic, and I thank WordPress for it, but I just have a few styling problems which I would like to iron out if possible.

    My site is not live yet (I don’t even have the server yet!) and is all done on locally so I will have to do screenshots if requested.

    Firstly, I would like to be able to add a border at the bottom of each post although this is not possible as the post runs the entire width of the screen, am I right in thinking this? Therefore when I apply a bottom border, the border runs the entire width of the screen?

    Secondly, I have been messing around trying to change the footer height, which I have been successful in doing to some degree but not really. Ideally, I would like the footer to snap to the height of the widgets within it, but I have to manually decrease the footer height and cant make it an auto height.

    Thirdly, I am aware since doing a bit of research, that the sidebar widgets overlapping the footer is quite common? I have installed myStickyMenu to make one of the widgets stay relative when the page is scrolled, which overlaps later over the footer. I am aware this might be a problem with the plugin but I have read others who have not got it installed.

    Fourthly, I would like to change only part of the main background where the posts are, so there is a border around it, rather than it all being the default white. As explained in my first problem, I don’t think this is possible as the posts are just displayed 100% width am I correct? The effect I am trying to achieve, is a 20px border surrounding the main content, so it doesn’t have white from side to side. This border would extend down to the bottom of the content so it merged in with the footer.

    I would appreciate any help, even if it is posting a link to where I can read and find the solution to any of my problems myself, as I have been looking into this now for some time with no success ??

    Sorry actually, after reading what I have just typed I have solved my last problem simply with:

    .site-content{
     border:30px solid #220e10;
     border-top:0;
}

    Although when I add this border, it pushes the widgets down on to another line, rather than keeping them all on the same line!
