  I would like to make my blog wider so it takes up more of the page. The blog is thebulldoginvestor.com. Is there an easy fix. Thanks so much!

  Hi Fred,

  With your current setup, there’s not a particularly easy fix for this without implementing some Custom Design, included only in the Premium plan. Then we could customize the width with some CSS.

  Your theme, Twenty Ten, does allow for a no-sidebar template on pages, but that won’t make your whole site wider like you’re looking for.

  I would recommend switching to one of these Responsive, one-column themes that has a look closer to what you want:

  Got it, thanks so much Alex. On my blog thebulldoginvestor.com, one of my pages is showing up twice. The second one is an error, it errors out when you click it. The ghost page is tarsier capital management, I should only have 1 and it is a link to another website.

  Hope you are having a good weekend but hopefully next week you could take a look.

  Best,
  Fred

  Hi Fred!

  Taking a look, but it appears you’ve perhaps handled this over the weekend?

  Here’s the menu as I see it currently:

  

  The menu option for Tarsier Capital Management t is correctly setup to link to tarsiercapitalmanagement.com , although it appears that site is currently down.

  You can always modify your Navigation menu here:

  Let me know if I misunderstood, and I’m happy to take a look again. :)

  Best,
