  Hi all, I’m using the bueno theme my site is http://derelict-dream.com. My main column width is 640px, I want to keep that dimension.

  Is there a way extend the width of the actual content inside the main column, I want the text and images to have less of a margin.

  Thanks-

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

  The date circle sort of gets in the way of widening it on both sides. You can do this, which will give you an extra 20px of width (10 on each side). I changed the 55px second number to 45px. In this case, you would add 20px to the value for the full-width image and videos in the field below the CSS edit box.

  .post {
  padding: 50px 45px;
  }

  You could also set a right padding and make the right padding less such as below. In this case you would add 30px to the value for the full-width image and videos (10px from the left + 20px from the right).

  .post {
  padding: 50px 35px 50px 45px;
  }

  Thanks, that did the trick, the text area is wider, but any idea how to make the images larger as well? the original img files are 640px × 423px but it always appears in a reduced size in the posts. (I changed the max media file width on the CSS page, but it doesn’t do anything)

  The images will not automatically resize. You will have to edit the posts, delete the image and then reinsert it at the “full-size”. The full-size will always size the image to the maximum allowable for the theme you are using and the size set below the CSS edit window.
