Expanding the content area of a single page (5 posts)

    Alright, I'm using the Arthemia free theme at my website, Georgia Insurance Options. I want to make some changes to a single page, my free quote page.

    As you can see, I've gotten rid of the sidebar on this particular page. Now I want to expand the content area (the whitespace) to the full width of the page. Any thoughts?

    And please, be kind and gentle with me. I am in way, way over my head doing this stuff. If it'd confuse a two-year-old, it'll blow my mind.

    The iframe that you are using has a fixed with of only 800 pixels. Change this to 100%.

    Within the iframe, your table has a fixed width of only 400 pixels. Again, change this to 100%.

    Could you please tell me in more detail how to do this? I've gotten rid of the sidebar and created a new page template for http://lvrunningscene.com/out-of-town-races/ but I don't understand where to go to expand the context section.

    Your situation is different.

    you need to do two things......alter the tag in your template, and then alter your css

    First, find this in your template:
    <div id="content">

    and change it to:
    <div id="contentWide">

    Now, find this in your style.css, copy it...paste it under itself

    #content {
    	width:590px;
    	background:#fff;
    	padding:10px;
    	font-size:1.05em;
    	line-height:1.75em;
    	float:left;
    	min-height:400px;
    	}

    then edit it like so: (editing the name of the element, and the width)

    #contentWide {
    	width:900px;
    	background:#fff;
    	padding:10px;
    	font-size:1.05em;
    	line-height:1.75em;
    	float:left;
    	min-height:400px;
    	}

    that should do it. (note...you may have to mess with that 900px number a bit....I'm just guessing...I don't have my home computer handy with the proper tools)
