    Hi all!
    I’ve seen posts for on widening the margins and I’ve tried to copy and paste the suggested CSS but can’t seem to get it right. Anyone help me increase the margins for where the posts are, not necessarily increase the margins for the sidebar?

    Also, I’ve managed to increase the margins through one CSS suggestion in a post but when I did increase the margins the banner image didn’t expand as well. Any help!?

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

    Hi there, CSS is theme specific, so if you were using CSS meant for another theme, there is a great chance it would not work for Pilcrow.

    When you say “widen the margins” are you talking about making the content area wider? If so, your current overall width is set at 850px in #wrapper, and the #container child div is set at 770px (80px less than #wrapper). The following widens the overall to 1000px and #container to 920px (a 150px increase). 

    #wrapper {
    max-width: 1000px;
}
.two-column #container {
    max-width: 920px;
}

    If the above is acceptable, then also enter 650px in the Content Width field below the CSS text area so that images and videos will use that additional width.
