   I am very new to WordPress, can someone help me on how to make the main page wider? It seems like I have way too much background.

   Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. Create a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

   The page width in Twenty Eleven, depending on which layout you are using, is set by.
   

   /* regular layouts */
   #page {
   	max-width: 1000px;
   }
   /* One column */
   .one-column #page {
   	max-width: 690px;
   }

   If you've already created your child theme, just add either of those to t, and set the max-width to whatever you want.
