 * Hey guys,
    I’ve read the “How to customize your theme” a million times. The problem
   is I’m no code guru(wish I were). I need to set up pages much like this one: (
   [http://familychurch.co/c3project/](http://familychurch.co/c3project/)), however
   I’m not satisfied with the outcome. I’m looking for help to give the images I
   post on the page the ability to fill the 980px left to right instead of the lousy
   900px. Also, the top/bottom padding between images gives me no freedom. I did
   try changing the style.css under inner: from 900px to 980px and that just jacked
   up everything (including the homepage). Another thing is the teal themed background
   image.. I would like to customize that on a single page only. Please help! I’m
   forever grateful!
 * Thanks, sincerely.

 * Please note that alterations are best done in child themes.
 * I think this is the style rule you need to alter/override:
 *     ```
       .inner {
         margin: 0 auto;
         position: relative;
         width: 900px;
       }
       ```
   
 * So you need a new rule (hopefully in your child theme’s style.css) that says:
 *     ```
       .inner {
         width: 980px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Assuming 980px is what you want.
 * By the way, you do know that pages built up entirely of images are completely
   inaccessible to people (and search engines) that use screen readers, don’t you?
   You don’t even give alt text.
 * Screen readers and search engine bots cannot read text that is included in an
   image. So it goes unread and unranked.

 * I’ll try the coding, thank you.
    I do understand that web pages that are entirely
   images don’t help anyone – that’s why there’s text all over our site and on every
   page. The titles are graphic to help the page be more interesting and eye catching.
 * Anywho, I’ll give it a go and probably continue asking questions!
