 * Sorry another topic, another thread =/
    You guys are doing an amazing job helping
   me, and I promise once the website is how i want it to be I’ll be raving on about
   this to my blogging friends!
 * I noticed that on the wordpress.org version of Sketch theme, there are greyed
   areas on screens bigger than mobile. On the WordPress.com version, the theme 
   has a complete white background for all screen size. Any way I could make this
   the case for the wordpress.org one? And how do I extend my content to fill up
   the space once it widens?
 * Thanks again!

 * I don’t actually see that here:

 * You can use this CSS to make the background white:
 *     ```
       body {
           background: #fff;
       }
       ```

 * So, making the background white doesn’t change the spacing on the theme, it just
   changes the color with the existing size of things. Your site is set at a maximum
   width of 1200px currently, but you can increase that to any value you want:
 *     ```
       .site {
           max-width: 1200px;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can try using percentages instead of pixels to see which you prefer.

 * Last code was exactly what I was looking for, and it works perfectly!
 * Thanks again David 🙂
