Pages have different margins than home page

    Hello
    I just did a fresh install of WordPress. I have not done any modifications to it and I am using the TwentyEleven Theme. My intention is to make my blog look like a website. So, I have created two extra Pages where I am going to put in some content.

    Now, I notice that whenever I create Posts, they appear immediately in the “Home” page after published. I also noticed that whenever I add whatever text to any of the Pages, and after they get published, they appear shifted to the right.

    Why is that? How can I achieve the same look and feel that the Home Page has in the rest of the Pages? I don’t want my content shifted to the right on the Pages, I want them to keep the same margin as in the “Home” page.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    OK fine. You can use HTML pages or redesign / create your own WordPress theme.

    Now, I notice that whenever I create Posts, they appear immediately in the “Home” page after published.

    It is actually the settings; that is in :

    http://example.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

    I guess it it will solve your issue. If you want to make your website looking like this website – http://wordpress.org/ or any such; you can use a proper theme either premade or design and code it yourself / by hired someone.

    no, that doesn’t resolve my issue. And I am sure there are others out there wondering the same thing.
    Let me rephrase what I want.
    What I am looking for is for a setting that I have to modify or something that will make all Pages have the same margin as the front page. Whenever I add whatever text to any of the Pages, and after they get published, they appear shifted to the right.

    How can I make it so that they have the same margin dimensions as the Front Page? I tried using Firefox to see what CSS was using, and I honestly got lost trying to figure out all where it all came from….thanks for any pointers..

    That’s called CSS and it can be found in your theme. Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS troubleshooting.

    As @esmi said rightly, the thing you are looking to edit to get a proper view is Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) of the active WordPress Theme / Child Theme.

    First thing is is that, there are different templates on one Theme based on the need. The CSS has portions defining the particular divs.

    You can use Opera Dragonfly / Firebug to check which specific div it is; actually it is the DOM and Style Inspector feature.
    Check this webpage : http://www.opera.com/dragonfly/documentation/dom/
    You can see that image screen shot ? http://www.opera.com/bitmaps/products/dragonfly/doc/dom-overview.jpg

    You have to discover the areas yourself and change accordingly in CSS of your theme.
