 * I’m working on this project using theme ‘online marketer’. I tried to customize
   it but it is very wide and flush left. I don’t understand why they have all this
   blue space on the right. I try to make the width just to fit the design but whatever
   I try I can’t see where to set the width and I’m not able to remove that blue
   space. any help will be appreciated. thanks.

 * You’ll need to post a link to your site if you want help with something like 
   this. Or try using [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com) to see what CSS to change.

 * I tried everything that i could think of that makes sense. sometimes, I just 
   don’t understand how these people use css. why would anybody design a theme and
   create this lopsided space that is almost 2/3 the actual width of the site. doesn’t
   make much sense to me. the link to the site is:

 * Are you referring to the space under the search bar and translator box? Looks
   like it is set up to have a sidebar — so you can add other content there.
 * The site is coded to adjust to the width of the browser window — so on smaller
   screens there is not a lot of extra space beyond the above. On a big screen, 
   yes, there is more extra space.
 * It’s not that simple to change the layout of a theme like this — as various pieces
   fit together and if you change one, there usually will be other problems.
 * You might consider finding another theme that has the basic layout that you want.

 * thanks. I’m not referring to a sidebar but rather the empty area right of the
   content area (including the sidebar). I think this is dumb. if you have to create
   a self adjusting theme, at least center it.

   show us a picture of what your talking about?

   there’s too much scrolling to an empty space. I like the window to be limited
   to just the page. when I look at the css, I’d think that by adjusting the container,
   everything will be alright, no! take a look: #container, .wrap { width: 100%;*
   margin: 30px auto; padding: 0; max-width: 1060px; /* remove or edit to adjust
   width */ min-width: 1060px; /* remove or edit to adjust width */ background:#
   20384C; background-image:url(library/images/bg-page.jpg); background-repeat:no-
   repeat; background-position:center top; }

 * I don’t see any max-width in the actual CSS code. When I added it to this, the
   site seemed to be okay:
 *     ```
       #container, .wrap {
           background: none no-repeat scroll center top #20384C;
           max-width: 1060px;
           padding: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * But like I already said, why are you using a theme that is poorly designed and
   coded?

 * the only reason is that I invested so much time customizing it to client’s desires
   and project’s due soon. it’s only now that I’m realizing it. if it’s simpler 
   to fix this than start from scratch, I’d rather give it a go. but I understand
   what you’re saying though. next time, I’ll check for discrepancies before I start.
   thanks.

 * Ah, okay, well I understand that, but if it’s poorly coded it may continue to
   give you (or worse, your client) grief!
 * Did you try setting a max width?

 * I set the max width. I copied it and pasted it on the code. no success. I’m gonna
   consider the alternative. thanks.

 * I’m talking to the theme developer, he’s telling me that I’m using the default
   template and there is a full width template for static pages. he agreed to take
   a look at my page. I’ll keep you posted. many thanks.

 * In your CSS on the #container div add this:
    margin: 0 auto 0 auto; It will automatically
   put it in the center of the screen.
