Playing with margins/width in Coraline possible?!
-
Hi there,
I hope you can help. My blog has been using the Coraline theme for quite some time. It’s nice but I find that there are huge white margins on each side. Is there any way to change it somehow so I can push the right sidebar (I only have one sidebar which is on the right) to the right and decrease the margins on each side, making the main column bigger for images and text? I have paid for the custom option for a year but I don’t know anything about codes and such.
Any advice you could give would be appreciated.
Thanks.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Just add this to your CSS and then adjust the “max-width” value. Do keep in mind that neary 25% of people are still on 1024px wide monitor resolutions and that for text, anything over about 600px in width becomes more difficult to read. Given that it is gener
.two-column #container { max-width: 770px; }If you increase to 970px, then on the CSS page below the edit area change the max image/video width value to about 630. Nailing down the exact width is a little tough since the post and sidebar area widths are set as a percentage so that they scale together with the width of the browser window.

Wow! Thanks! I did increase 970 px and it lessened the margin on the left, making my pictures come out slightly larger!
Now…is there ANY way to lessen the margin on the right?!
Thanks again and I hope I’m not bothering you. I just don’t like all that “wasted space on the sides”. Thanks again for any assistance you might provide. You’ve already been a great help! -
The main content container is set to be centered (same left and right margins on the content container) in the browser window so that things look in balance. I’m seeing equal space to the left and right of the container.
If you never want any white space to show to the right or left of the content, and always want the content to fill the screen, set the max width to something like 5000px. Do know though that by doing that, reading any text on your site on wide monitors will be a serious pain and people probably just won’t do it. Also know that your images are going to be seriously degraded.
