 * Can someone explain to me how I can increase the width of the text using the 
   clean black theme?
    I think I should do this in appearance > editor. However 
   it tells me i should make the file writable before I can make changes? Then in
   the body or wrap I can change the width I believe. Please let me know if you 
   have a solution
 * The website I am currently building is this [http://www.b-in-harmony.com](http://www.b-in-harmony.com)
 * Thanks

 * I think your style.css file is not writable. Make it writable from your hosting.
   You can use FTP.
 * Then change `font-size: 17px;` in style.css file.
