 * I want to turn my blog from looking like this
 * [http://i40.tinypic.com/1zqy1xi.jpg](http://i40.tinypic.com/1zqy1xi.jpg)
 * to make it look something like this
 * [http://i40.tinypic.com/23qx8uf.jpg](http://i40.tinypic.com/23qx8uf.jpg)
 * I think it is something to do with the <div> maybe.
 * I’m not sure any help would be appreciated.

 * You want, it appears, to alter the width of your content. But without a link 
   to your site it’s not easy for us to give any advice.
 * You will probably do it by creating some new CSS rules. If we have a link to 
   your site, we can probably make some more concrete suggestions.

 * It would take a lot of doing.
 * The white background is because the background only repeats along the x axis.
   You cann make it repeat along both, but looks quite obvious. You just need a 
   new rule like this:
 *     ```
       #topx {
         background: url("images/topx.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
       }
       ```
   
 * Then it’s fairly easy to get the left and right margins to show the the new background:
 *     ```
       #wrapper {
         margin: 0 8em;
       }
       ```
   
 * However, getting the background behind the subscription form is a much more difficult
   proposition. For me, it would take a fair bit of time to find a solution for 
   that. Maybe somebody else can see something reasonable.

 * I’m sorry but it is beyond the scope of these forums to deal with basic CSS issues.
   Try a dedicated CSS resource such as [http://www.css-discuss.org/](http://www.css-discuss.org/)
   instead. I’d also recommend using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind
   of CSS work.

 * If I changed the background to not repeat and created a big bg image including
   the green on the sides and the white in the middle would this work?
 * If it would could you tell me what size I should make the image?
