    Hi I am using the genesis prose theme and I was wondering how I can make the margin of the content a little wider. http://www.abackpackerstale.com

    Decrease #content width in teh CSS by the amount you increase #content padding width. Or you could just reduce content width as the float is set to left.

    Example:

    #content {
    float: left;
    padding: 10px 0 20px;
    width: 420px;
    }

    Possible Change:

    #content {
    float: left;
    padding: 10px 10px 20px 0;
    width: 410px;
    }

    Meant margin not padding there, but no edit link so I couldn't remove from earlier post
