  I want to quit wordpress!!! It’s so frustrating! I’ve wasted days trying to make simple changes but becuase I know nothing about html I can’t do a thing. In fact, I think I deleted the wrong code noe I’m getting a weird blur at the bottom of my blog.

  All I want to do is resize my custom logo since it is so huge and there is not an easy way to resize, also my custom wood seamless background it really stretched and now how the image looks. Also I want to remove the home page padding box.

  I paid for the upgrade but it does me no good since I do not know how to make changes and I don’t want to keep reading a bunch of forums.

  Please give me step by step instructions.

  Thanks! Leah

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi!
  Thanks! I need help removing that padding border off my pages. I want just my custom wood background and the simple white frames that get added to my photos. I paid for the upgrade but since I don’t know code I feel it’s a waste. WordPress needs live customer service, it’s so frustrating not being able to just call someone.

  I also need to shrink my logo and background images becuase they are too large, however I don’t want to lose the image quality.

  When I uploaded the last image “Lauren & Paul, the quality is horrible, real blurry. How do I fix my images so they appear clean and crisp?

  Thanks a bunch!

  It sounds like you’re looking to remove the background of the blog itself so that only the images that you’ve added will be present? That’s a very simple bit of CSS code which you can add to the Customizer:

  #page {
  background: none
  }

  However as you can see it removes a lot of the elements which are needed to make your site visible and pleasing to the eye.

  If you haven’t already, I would recommend checking out the CSS Customization Forum here:

  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization

  There you can see what customizations others have made to their blogs and you can get specific help with exactly what you’re looking to do.

  I will say that I recommend adjusting your logo using an image editing software such as Photoshop rather than via CSS. This way visitors to your website are only having to load the smallest version of your image necessary instead of a larger version that is then resized down.
