Hello,

I’m currently trying to make my WordPress site wider using the template Twenty Ten. Originally it was 940px so I modified #access and #wrapper to get it to be about 950px, but can’t seem to get it to go any wider.

How can I make my website wider? Does WordPress.com limit how wide you can make your site?

Currently I use the following code in addition to twenty ten’s base CSS:

Thanks,

No there is no limit, but consider the following statistics on monitor resolutions in use on the internet:

1 1024×768 — 40.28%
2 1280×1024 — 16.97%
3 1280×800 — 16.89%
4 1440×900 — 7.71%
5 1680×1050 — 4.28%

The #3 out of top 10 things people on the web dislike the most is horizontal scrolling.

I just did the below to my test blog and the overall width is 1250px.
```
#wrapper {width:1250px; }
#branding img {width:1250px; }
#access, #access .menu-header, div.menu, #colophon, #branding, #main, #wrapper { {width:1250px; }
#main {width:1250px; }
#container {width:927px; }
```

The above was just quick and dirty. Here are a couple more things that need or probably should be added
```
.page #content {width:927px; }
#comments {width:60%; }
```

Actually instead of #comments, make that #respond
