Also looking to add another sidebar on the left.
Hi, you don’t need to change the php file, if I understand you correctly; what you want to do is change the css–the stylesheet that is.
But I think it would be helpful if you clarified a bit: what do you mean “make the background smaller”? Do you mean the margins surrounding the whole page, or do you mean the blue header image?
Css is a very good skill to learn if you want to be able to customize your themes yourself 🙂
I mean the margins surrounding the page if i shrunk it to .5″, couldnt i make my page larger?
The margins surrounding that page are also dependent on how big your screen and window is. If you stretch your window to make it larger, the margins will (of course) seem bigger. But I guess you mean you want to make the “content”-part of the site wider?
Would you want to make the text wider? Or the sidebar? I’m not sure I’d want to do that.
The designer behind your theme, probably did think about the width of the elements 🙂
But if you don’t know that much css and coding, how about just picking another theme that you like better?
