You need to edit your stylesheet.css file, drop the link of your website so I could tell what element you need to look up and edit
P
Another option would be to use a full-width template that the theme provides or to make your own page template that would be full-width and upload it to your FTP client. Drop your URL and theme name. We can figure more out with this information.
Thank you so much for your help!

I am using the standard 2012 template and changed to single column.
If you need further info please feel free to ask.

PS – I dont do well with ftp. How would I go about using a full width template as that describes what I am (I presume) looking for.
Also, I am fairly sure I can figure out how to edit the css file.
Find this in your style.css:
/* =Structure
----------------------------------------------- */
body {
padding: 0 2em;
}
#page {
margin: 2em auto;
max-width: 1000px;
}
Change the #page to:
#page {
margin: 1.5em auto;
max-width: 1050px;
border-top: 15px solid #bbb;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-o-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
}
Add this to your functions.php:
//CUSTOM HEADER SIZE
add_filter( 'twentyeleven_header_image_height', 'voodoo_header_height');
function voodoo_header_height($param) {
return 175;
}
add_filter( 'twentyeleven_header_image_width', 'voodoo_header_width');
function voodoo_header_width($param) {
return 1050;
}
You will now have to upload a header that is 1050 x 175 px.
RATS!!
Where do I find funtions.php
I’m sorry … too new to all this.
exactly where and how do i find it in my active theme – do this, do that, click here, type this, etc. will help a lot.
You can edit theme files from the dashboard from appearance -> Editor
However I would recommend that you do not do this as when editing the functions.php, a very simple & commonly made mistake such as leaving off a semicolon at the end of a line of code can result in the dreaded ‘white screen of death’.
Instead use an FTP app and a text editor to edit your theme files and take a copy of the file before making changes.
