   Hi there, I'm trying to widen the content area of my blog at http://thevintages.net. I'm typically decent with css and html but my theme seems to be written with a lot of php scripts and I don't see anything that I can modify in the stylesheet.

   Here's the style.css. I would just like to make the theme wider by 200 or 250 px.

   /*
   Theme Name: Textback
   Theme URI: http://http://www.amypink.com
   Description: The official AMY & PINK Theme.
   Version: 1.0
   Author: Marcel Winatschek
   Author URI: http://www.amypink.com/

   See style-core.css for additional styles.
   See style-ie.css for ie-specific fixes.
   */

   body {margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #fff; text-align: center; font: 12px 'Lucida Grande','Arial', sans-serif;}
   table, td {font: 10px 'Lucida Grande','Arial', sans-serif; color: #000;}

   /*-smilies without a border-*/
   body img.wp-smiley {
   border:none;
   }

   I couldn't find the style-core.css page, either.

   data/articles.css:

   #header, #main, #content-bottom, #breadcrumb, #footer {
   width:720px;
   }

   Where can I find that file?

   In the articles.css file within the data sub-folder of your theme. You will need to use FTP (or whatever file management application your host provides) ro download the file to your computer, make the changes and then re-upload the amended file.

   One more thing, I can't figure out how to make the gray bar at the top extend over the sidebar now, and also the text still wraps at around 500 px instead of going all the way.

   Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks for all your help!

   Does anyone know how I can use the FTP as suggested? I have the same theme and am trying to do the same thing (widen content, override some of the css design choices). I use Godaddy, so I don't have wordpress software downloaded on my computer, will this affect anything?

   Thanks!
