    Hi there!
    I'd love some help with decreasing the white space around my blog content. At the moment there is quite a large margin of white space and I'd like this to be a little less so my content is wider.

    My blog is : http://www.coconutandberries.com/

    Many thanks 🙂

    It's because your background and also your content area is white. Even if I attempt to maybe lighten the background you will require some padding adjustment in there in some places. Take a look at this image.

    I think and I can't say for sure, but the reason why is so that the right sidebar content didn't fall off the side like it's doing now with the darker background. That column could have been made a little bit wider to accommodate that. But your content area doesn't have much padding in there. Maybe you can contact your theme designer and ask her to do that for you.
