  Hello all:

  I’m guess this might not be [easily] possible, but is there any way to make a small change to the layout of a theme? Specifically, the Flounder Theme. You can see on my blog, jeffreypalms.wordpress.com, a thick grey column to the right of the text. It looks nice enough but that space would, I think, be much better employed with letting the text extend all the way to that right-hand margin. Any thoughts?

  Cheers,
  Jeff

  Do you have the Custom Design upgrade?

  I do not. I see that it costs a bit of money to upgrade, and I’m not sure it’s worth it. I suppose that’s the only way?

  One more question: how easy would it be, for a non-tech-oriented person such as myself, to make that kind of layout change, provided I get the custom design upgrade?

  Well, you have to either learn CSS coding or wait for staff assistance. How patient are you?

  Very patient. Unwilling to learn CSS but willing to wait for staff assistance.

  You might have to wait up to a week, but if it’s worth $30 a year to you, go for it. Personally, I’d just pick a different theme.
