    I am fairly new to workdpress and css as a whole. I have gotten to customize some of my site to make it like I want, but currently can’t figure out something.
    I’m wanting to play with the width of the entire page and have a border on the back.

    I’m just trying to shrink it up a bit and make it a little nicer.

    I would appreciate any assistance. I have done searches through the forums but can’t locate any of the items to change int he stylesheet on my site.

    Thanks
    mike

    Well, right now it is fluid width.

    In order to set a certain width, you should wrap the whole thing in something like

    <div id=”container”>
    <div id=”mainlink”>Skip to main content.</div>
    …

    <div id=”footer”>
    <hr />

    </div>
    </div>
    </body>
    </html>

    Then, in your CSS have

    #container {
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 770px;
    }

    Or whatever width, however you want the border, blah.

    But, I believe this should be in “Themes and Templates”.

    Thanks for the quick reply I appreciate the help.

    I understand the CSS entry for the width, but where exactly would I place the wrap? <div id=container>, etc.

    Thanks again for any assistance.

    Right where I showed you, below <body> above <div id=”mainlink”>, and the closing div before </body>
