   Don't edit the Twenty Ten theme! Your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress or the theme. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations.

   without including the sidebar?

   Try this, but I agree with esmi; you really should use a child theme or properly rename the default theme.

   #wrapper {
   background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
   border: 3px solid #000000;
   margin-top: 20px;
   padding: 0 20px;
   }

   the border code worked thanks.
   Regarding "child themes" if i plug this into the style.css it's done?
   /*
   Theme Name: Twenty Ten Child
   Theme URI: http: //example.com/
   Description: Child theme for the Twenty Ten theme
   Author: Your name here
   Author URI: http: //example.com/about/
   Template: twentyten
   Version: 0.1.0
   */
   second question above, below the original or replace it? Thank you I am a new to WordPress!

   Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.

   Create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, post a new topic if you still need assistance.
