  You can either:

  1. Select a different theme that uses a wider content area. Browse our themes here: http://theme.wordpress.com
  2. Purchase the custom design upgrade and use CSS to make the content area larger for your current theme. If you’ve never used CSS before, then I don’t recommend this option. More info: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design

  Thank you first for your advice.

  I have purchased the custom design upgrade already, but I still have no idea on getting wider content area as I am not familiar on css. Can you give me a hand ？
  Thanks a lot.

  When you create a CSS-related help request, please make sure to select or link to the WordPress.com blog you’re working on and include a clear description of the change you’re trying to make. It helps a lot.
