  Hi,

  I’m new to wordpress and don’t know too much about CSS at all except for the tinkering around I’ve done on the tutorial pages and such.

  I’m using the Benevolence theme and I’d like to edit the CSS to make the blog full screen width (I know I have to fiddle around with the pixel size, but that’s as far as my knowledge goes). Is this something that is relatively easy to do, and if so any info/help would be greatly appreciated!

  This is some of the code you will need. I’ve added 200 pixels to the width. You’ll need to modify your header image and add it with the CSS using #masthead. Remember that not everyone visiting your site will have the same monitor size or resolution!

  #wrapper, #insideWrapper, #masthead, #footer {width:900px;}
  #content, .post, .page {width:620px;}
