  Can anyone tell me how to use custom CSS to give the main body of your blog margins? If you take a look at my page the text is pushed up right to the boundary of the main body. I’d like about 50px of space either side.

  Currently CSS looks like this:

  body {
background:#747170;
color:#000000;
}

  h5,#main-nav,h5 abbr {
  background:transparent;
  }

  h1 {
  background-color:#FFFFFF;
  }

  p {
  background-color:#FFFFFF;
  }

  div {
  background-color:#FFFFFF;
  }

  Apologies for the awful CSS!

  Thanks in advance.

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

  Try adding this:

  #site-wrapper {
  padding: 15px 50px 20px;
  }
  
  #footer {
  padding: 20px 50px 35px;
  }

  Note (irrelevant but useful): You’ve got too many embedded objects so your front takes too long to load. You should limit the number of posts per page to only a few in Settings > Reading and/or use the read-more tag to truncate the posts.
