    Hi,

    How can I increase the padding on the left and right side of my website?

    Thanks!

    I can't figure this one out. It's driving me crazy!

    I don't know whether one calls it margins, padding, wrapping, but whatever it is called, how can I increase the width of the left and right sides of iRuleman.com?

    So are you saying you it so that the website has a larger margin on the right and left? If so then you need to reduce the size of the Inner Wrap. It's currently 960px. You need to reduce that, but you will also need to reduce the Content area as well as the Sidebar to accommodate the decrease in the Wrapper.


    Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.

    Thanks for the advice. I looked into it, but I can't seem to get it to work. I adjusted:

    .wrap {
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 960px;

    and made it:

    .wrap {
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 900px;

    That ended up distorting the website. I also played around with areas labeled Content and Sidebar, but it only seemed to make matters worse. Any suggestions on how I can move forward?
