In reply to: How do I change the width of my page, column width, etc?Alchymyth, what if I just post my CSS here? Experts can look it over and see what the problem. I’ve googled all over the place, and there are troubleshooting posts saying the width is contained in a “wrapper,” or in a “container.” The problem is my apparently weird theme only has the word wrapper written 9 times in the CSS, and all 9 of them are either in the widget or footer section. As for the containers, the post I read that mentioned containers said to find container-width, or content-container, and then edit the width within. Except my CSS only has: #content-container {
background: url(images/body.png) center top repeat-y;
}There isn’t even a “width” in there.
All I really need is someone to look over the CSS and tell me where it’s keeping its width and other layout dimensions, and where I can edit them, since this theme does not seem to have the dimensions in the normal places.
Also I’m posting on the other forum but this one seems much much more active.

In reply to: How do I change the width of my page, column width, etc?Ipstenu,
Can’t anyone go on wordpress.com, select the elegant grunge them, and look at the CSS? I can even post my CSS here in the forum. People would have to look at it anyway to figure out what needs to be changed, so there’s no difference if I post it here and they view it in my post, or if they go to the theme themselves and bring it up themselves. In fact me posting it saves them some trouble.
I have the page up, I can copy the CSS at any time. I just want to make sure there’s no privacy issues or anything posting the CSS from your blog. Can someone take it and steal your blog, is there anything distinct about it I shouldn’t be sharing publicly, or is it just the default theme CSS anyway and no big deal?

In reply to: How do I change the width of my page, column width, etc?Magyver, that’s because I’ve switched, and I don’t have a blog on wordpress.org yet. If everyone would like, I can go copy and paste the CSS from my wordpress.com blog into the wordpress.org application, and then I will literally, technically, 100% be, at this very moment, “using” wordpress.org. If it’s an issue that it’s impossible to help unless you can look at the finished blog, I’ll understand. But as I understand it, the link I posted uses the same CSS, so, as I understand it, and I could be wrong, but as I understand it, that means if someone wanted to help, they could look at the blog I posted’s CSS, tell me how to fix what I want to fix, and then when I buy a domain name I can put the changes into wordpress.org.
So if it’s an issue that it’s literally impossible to help me with this because I don’t have my wordpress.org blog up yet, then I’ll understand. Otherwise I wish we could get passed the technicalities and get to the problem. I’ve spent hours on the thing, I just spent money on the thing to wordpress, now I just want some help using it.

In reply to: How do I change the width of my page, column width, etc?That’s alright. I’m just looking for help with this after spending about 30 hours over the last few weeks trying to figure out one small thing at a time, and getting close to nowhere.
You can see the blog and theme at https://sharkcircle.wordpress.com. That’s the one I made while on wordpress.com. I’ve since downloaded the 3.2.1 wordpress.org software and opened it up, but I don’t have my own domain name yet because I don’t want to buy one when I don’t have a finished blog yet. Once i do, I will have to figure out how to move the thing, which I’m hoping won’t also be incredibly difficult.
But for now, I’m hoping someone can look at the Elegant Grunge theme’s CSS that I’m using at my blog http://sharkcircle.wordpress.com and tell me what parts I need to change to achieve the changes I want. Then once I have the changed CSS code and made sure I did it right and it works, I imagine I can copy that into the wordpress.org application. They both use CSS, right? If that’s true, and it’s the impression I’m under, then this should work, I hope.
