   Hi,

   I have long captions in my gallery in twenty ten so you can't tell where one caption ends and the next begins.

   I would like to add code to tell it to wrap the photo caption text after 35 characters instead of 42 on a 3 column gallery.

   Can someone point me to where to change this in the twenty ten theme?

   Thanks,

   edit style.css, find:

   .gallery .gallery-caption {
   	color: #888;
   	font-size: 12px;
   	margin: 0 0 12px;
   }

   and add some left/right padding; example:

   padding: 0 15px;

   btw:
   it is recommended not to edit Twenty Ten directly, but to create a child theme http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes and make the edits in there.

   Thanks alchymyth, I'll be able to use this a little later.

   I'm just learning where to go to access the FTP files in order to create a root install and then a new directory.

   Would I access wp-content/themes through general settings in WP or through my host by creating an FTP account?

   thanks again.

   This site has been pretty helpful in starting with a child theme.
