 * Cindy, batharoy — YES! It worked, like magic! This stuff is probably totally 
   elementary to you, but to me it’s pure wizardry. I really appreciate your taking
   the time to offer this help.

 * OK, never mind. I finally found it. The NextGen stylesheets are in this folder:
 * public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/css
 * Just in case anyone else is trying to figure the same thing out.

 * Hi. Thanks for replying.
 * I guess I didn’t ask my question clearly.
 * I already installed these fonts, which are from fontsquirrel. They are working
   beautifully on my site itself.
 * The way you install fonts is to put the font files (which you get from fontsquirrel’s
   font-generator) into the same folder as your stylesheet. Then you add additional
   styling to your css with @fontface.
 * So what I’m trying to figure out is: Where is the stylesheet for NextGen default
   styles? Once I know where that is, I can put the font files in the same folder.

 * Wow, thanks for the super-fast reply!
 * I mean the entire page area, the whole light-colored area.
 * So, I only have to add the border styling above to my child-theme stylesheet?
   I don’t have to do anything with template files?

 * Thank you for the replies.
 * In order to make sure I know what you mean:
    esmi, since my main posts page (
   which is my blog) uses the index.php template, and will be unaffected by my custom
   page templates, then it sounds like what I need to do is create custom page templates
   for my static pages.
 * Here are my followup questions:
    1) Can I create custom templates based on my
   current static pages, which are themselves based on my theme’s one-column layout?
   And 2) having done that, will I be able to successfully switch my theme option
   to two-column and add things like footers and widgets, for the purpose of having
   my post page look like a regular blog, without having any of those changes appear
   on my static pages?
 * And alchymyth: If I understand you correctly, you’re saying that I should choose
   the two-column option that 2011 theme offers? and then adjust my static page 
   CSS to over-ride the two-column spacing so that it goes to the full width? My
   questions about this are:
 * 1) Which part of the static page CSS do I re-write? What should the new version
   say, in order to give me the full-width page?
    2) How do I keep widgets, footer,
   etc which I add to my posts page from showing up on the static pages?
 * My final general question is: is it better to just do a whole second installation
   of WordPress for my blog and just set it up from scratch, and link to it from
   my website?

 * Thanks for the input; I agree with you. The blog minimalism is largely due to
   my brain freeze at the end of setting up the website. I have to go back into 
   the codex and figure out how to change the layout of posts in a blog which is
   a sub-part of a static-page website.

 * I agree, this feature is strongly needed. I’ve read the instructions in the Lightbox
   Plus settings about checking “do not auto-lightbox images” and then manually 
   adding code to the URL of the photos that I WANT to use Lightbox, but I don’t
   understand how to actually add that code.

 * thanks so much, govpatel. I was just being an idiot; I had inadvertently zoomed
   in a bit on my browser screen. I’ve been doing this for too many hours. Sorry
   for the dimwitted post.
