  Hi there! Is there a way to make the white part of my blog (where all the text of posts, widgets, etc. are) be a little narrower so that my background can show a little? Or bring the background pattern up into the header a bit? I would like the background pattern I have uploaded to show a little more than it does now. Take a look at my blog and you can see what I mean http://www.veggiesdontbite.com

  Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there – Hmm, well if you just want the header area to stop at the same width as the post column, so your background image shows to either side, you can try the following:

  header[role=banner] {
  background-size: 1170px 340px;
  }

  If you want to adjust the width of the post column itself, that’s a little tricky, so I recommend asking the experts in the CSS forum here:

  Thanks! That helps a bit. I’ll see what they say at the forum link you gave. It seems that if I manually make my Safari window bigger, you see more…but wondering if I can do what you said is s little tricky :O)

  Yes, it also depends on the size of the display people are using. I’m using a large external monitor, so I see a lot of your background.
