    Can sidebars be made narrower in Prose, or content margins made wider? Thanks, all.

    Yes they can be ajusted by accessing your style.css file.


    To speed up the process please post the link to the website in question.

    Great news, Rob. I can't tell if the firebug comment was meant for me. I know nothing of code. I went to my site's dashboard/Genesis/custom css window, but don't see anything in the way of instructions for what to do next. If I plug in Firebug, will I see something different, something that I'll recognize as where to plug in numbers for margin widths?
    Should I be doing this? I'm scared to touch anything.
    Thanks, Laura

    Rob, maybe you can help me with something else before I go charging into Prose. I should have specified this in the earlier request, something I've had terrible trouble getting anyone to explain to me. What I'm really looking to do with the side margins is get rid of them completely, as in, have the whole screen width for my content and sidebars, the way wordpress' free theme Andrea has done for me on my first blog. Little did I know that I picked the only theme in wordpress that doesn't force you to forfeit those two columns of wasted space at either side of the page. I've looked so hard for another theme that gives me my whole screen back, and asked so many questions, no one's writing me back anymore.
    If someone would just say to me, yes, Andrea is the only theme in all of wordpress or studiopress that gives you the whole screen for your page, I'd be incredulous, but then could at least put it to rest and move on. Without that, wouldn't you logically keep looking too? Rob, help me understand why I suddenly feel I've been so unreasonable to want to keep my full-screen usability that I'm now the Studiopress pariah? I'd have already left Studiopress were it not for Genesis. Please access my post to see that Andrea has given me my full screen to work on. calhounrising.wordpress.com
    (*dare I hope that Rob will be the one to finally explain this to me, and put this issue, resolved to my satisfaction or not, to rest?*)
