    To modify the width here at wordpress.com, you would need to buy the Custom Design Upgrade and have a little CSS experience, but it isn’t too hard to widen manifest.

    If you buy Custom Design, (I think) you can widen Manifest in the following way:

    Find…

    #site-wrapper {
padding-top:15px;
width:500px;
text-align:center;
position:relative;
margin:0 auto;
}

    …and change ‘width’ to a large px (I use 1000px).

    To widen the menu find…

    #main-nav ul {
text-align:center;
width:500px;
margin:0 auto;
}

    …and….

    #main-nav ul ul {
background:#fff;
border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;
border-top:1px solid #eaeaea;
display:none;
position:absolute;
top:100%;
left:0;
text-align:center;
width:1000px;
margin:0 auto;
padding:4px 0 3px;
}

    …and do the same.

    To widen the body area find…

    #core-content {
float:none;
width:400px;
margin-top:8px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}

    …and do the same (I chose 800px).

    I’m pretty sure that’s how I did it – but this is my second day ever coding…

    Good luck

    @kapansa, I added backticks around your code examples. It formats them so they stand out.
