    I have this site running. I usually work with "old fashioned html" . I thought I would give WP a try. I have made a couple site using it and its been not too bad.

    recently I have been trying to fix some things on my site and not only have I not been able to, but I have not found anyone who actually seems to have enough knowledge to not give me just a vague answer.

    My web site is http://www.iselaespanadesignstudio.com My super simple question is this. How can I make my #footer, #colophon full width. How do I move it out of the wrapper with out messing everything up and make it full width and change the font from black to white.

    I am using a child theme. I am pulling in the css from twenty ten at the moment-adjusting it there and after I am done will be putting it in my childs theme.

    the second problem is that in firefox my background as well as my header is not showing up. I tried to rename the jpg files and it did not work.

    I am getting discourage from using wordpress because of the lack of quality support.

    I would be very appreciative for someone to offer their insight.

    #access .menu-header, div.menu, #colophon, #branding, #main, #wrapper {
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 100%;
    }

    Thats the line you want to modify, everything is nested in #wrapper so even if you 100% footer it can only expand to max width of wrapper. I suggest you learn firebug for basic styling comprehension, and you can always visit a freelance site for high-quality support.

    This isn't a WordPress specific issue. It's just plain ole CSS. Try removing the fixed width on #wrapper.
