 * Hi there. I really like the elegant grunge theme. My only gripe is that the width
   of the body is too narrow. This makes reading longer articles irritating for 
   me.
 * Can someone guide me on how to change the width? I have basic html/css skills
   so I should be okay if you tell me what to change and where..
 * Or is modding the WP theme a complicated process? In this case I may have to 
   search for another theme..
 * You can check out the site here:

 * Thanks!!

 * Modding that theme to extend the content width is quite complicated because of
   the various background images.

 * I’ve done it, but I’m running into some issues with the header and the footer..
   
   anyone know how I can make the header line up to the left and not move off the
   page? you can view it here. policeandfirecounseling.com

 * If anyone has figured out a good way to do this, I’d love to know. I have articles
   that are split into two columns themselves and therefore it gets quite narrow
   within this type of body width.
