    I’m using Twenty Ten theme and run a calendar page which I would like to make wider
    link
    http://melbournepractica.org/calendar/
    and sit in the center of the page. The page setting at present is “one colum, no sidebar” but it appears to be sitting to the left with large amount of space left on the right hand side.

    Do not edit the theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes. Or install a custom CSS plugin.

    Hi Esmi

    Thanks for that, I did download Simple Custom CSS , but this assumes that I know how to write my custom CSS AND i REALLY DON’T.

    What I’m trying to achieve is increase the the width of the “one column, no side bar” page.
    The script at present is

    DESCRIPTION: One centered column with no sidebar
    */

    .one-column #content {
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 640px;
    }

    Could I just change the width to say 900px?
    Thank you

    All you can is try it. If you are going to start customising themes, you really do need to learn how to use CSS. The following are pretty good resources:
    CSS Tutorials
    Learning CSS

    I’d also suggest using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS troubleshooting. Or using whatever developer tool is available in your web browser.
