  Hi,

  I have bought the CSS upgrade to change the width of my blog. But I can not find the right code or option to make this happen. I am not using the side bar and want this to all be on page.

  Also, I wanted to change the height of my header, if someone can help me with this?

  Ryan

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

  I can’t help with CSS but the volunteer who does help likes those he works with to read this post before they start CSS editing http://csswiz.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/if-you-have-the-wp-com-css-upgrade/

  To change the width you will want to include the line below. Of course you can change the number from 700 to any pixel value of your choice.

  #wrapper {width:700px;}

  To change the header height add some vertical padding. In the case below the actual size increase will be 60 pixels as it will add padding on the top and bottom. You need to specify the background colour here too.

  h1#title {padding:50px 0; background-color:#000;}
