    Hi guys I am working on another website using theme Wooden Mannequin… how the background is offset in color I am trying to change it to an all white background, however when I do this in the CSS file it changes the outside left and outside right to white.. and there is maybe 125 px to left of the main content and to the right of the main content to where it doesnt change. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

    Also I know its a fixed width but when I try adding 50 px to the width of the wrapper it changes it on the homepage but the other pages are left the same way at 760px.. if someone out there knows how to manipulate this I would greatly appreciate it.

    background image?
    body {background:#f4f4f4 url(img/bg.gif) top center repeat-y; color:#ffffff; font:76% Book Antiqua,Arial,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;}

    width:
    can’t reproduce that, change of width in #wrap seems to effect the other pages as well

    so do I just remove the image portion? and change the color to white and presto?

    yes – that might work.

    if you have a backup copy of your working theme files, there is no harm in trying 😉

    Would you look at that… it worked… Thanks

    So there is nothing I can do about the width? I know its not visible as far as the wrapper goes but I wonder if the tweet updates will run cut off or run off the wrapper

    Is there a way that the Posting titles can be changed from blue to black?

    css ?

    the post titles are styled as normal links;
    to keep other links unchanged, and make your post titles black, add a new style to style.css of your theme (location within style.css does not really matter):

    .post a { color:#000; }
.post a:hover { color: #555; } /*optional for different color on hover*/

    oh I figured it out… I changed it through the CSS stylesheet under “links”

    I appreciate all the help man… as im learning wordpress its nice to know people out there are helpful like yourself
