    Hello everyone,

    I’m using the Lifestyle Pro theme and would like to increase the margins only on the page for my blog posts. I’m using a full width post style which means the text fills up the screen and I think it’s not good for readability.

    Here’s an example:

    Paying attention to your intentions

    I’m not great at css except to cut and paste snippets so hope someone can help with an easy to follow solution.

    Thanks

    Hi Colleen,

    you can add

    .post .entry-content p {
    	padding: 0 40px;
    }

    to your style.css.

    You can adjust the 40px to increase or decrease the space around the text.
