  Hi there,

  I upgraded to the custom design in hopes of being able to make my pictures take up much more space in my theme. Is there anyway to allow them to be larger??
  Thank you!

  Each theme is unique. I looked at http://jsoltmanphotography.com/ and I see you are currently using the Manifest theme.

  You can adjust the width of the Manifest theme by first changing the limit width in the Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page to the width you would like to use. For example, if you updated to 800, you would change the limit width and then also use CSS to reset the width for all of the elements that already exist in the original stylesheet using a rule like this:

  #site-wrapper, #main-nav ul ul, #core-content, legend span, #footer, #footer-content {
  	width: 800px;
  }

  Note that some images may need to be re-inserted if they were not originally inserted at a size of 800px or higher.

  You may also want to consider using galleries to post the images. Gallery image sizes can automatically be adjusted on WordPress.com. You might like using galleries with the large image size and a single column so the images appear at the maximum width.
