 * 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

 * 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*/
       ```

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