  Hi. My site, http://www.backpacksandbeaches.com only seems to lie across half a page. Why might this be?

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

  Hello there!

  That’s the way that theme was built :)
  This code should centre it on the page if you’d like?

  .site {
  	margin: 0 auto;
  }

  Let me know if that doesn’t work,
  Sage

  Hi, your site is a WordPress.org site and not WordPress.com.
  Anyway I’ve got this link on WordPress.org that might help with fixing your “full width” issue

  Hey thanks for the advice. I don’t know how to even add a child theme, I don’t have a clue.

  Is it easier to just get a different template? Do any others do this do you know?

  I think it might help if you load another theme. Not sure why it displays like that the default setting for Twenty Sixteen is full width. You could post on WordPress.org Forums for more assistance on WordPress.org related issues.

  Keep it up (”,)
