    Hello

    Newbie to theme tweaking. I have penscratch theme by caroline moore.

    I would like the theme narrowed so all content and header does not exceed 500px. I have managed to do that to the content, but the header and footer remain just over 900 wide. CSS is below, what do I add to reduce header and footer width?

    Thankyou!

    I have the following in my css : 

    #wrapper {
	width: 500px;
}

#main {
	width: 500px;
	text-align: center;
}

#container {
	width: 500px;
}

    Hi there,
    We provide support here only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
    We do not provide support for WordPress.ORG software installs.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    I’m sorry but we cannot provide accurate answers to any blogger who fails to provide the exact URL starting with http:// for the exact blog they refer to so we can verify where it is hosted. Please do that now.

    You’ve got a great start, but you’re adjusting things inside the main outer container. Here is an example that will adjust the outer container instead:

    .no-sidebar .site {
	max-width: 500px;
}
