 * My site: ampersandbox.net
    Originally the width was 940px but I want to make 
   it 1120px So opening the css file I extended the width accordingly, everywhere
   i saw 940px i switch it to 1120px;
 * However the location of the photos did not move so I added a margin-left:-90px;
   since going from 940 to 1120 extends 90px out left and right.
 * Once i did that theres a white bar that appears over my thumbnails, im not sure
   why I have looked through all the files searching for 940px but came up empty.
   Someone please help me! thank you!

 * That’s not a white bar, your leftmost images are being pushed off the left edge
   of the page by your -90px left margin:
 *     ```
       #content {
       float:none;
       margin:0 0 0 -90px;
       width:1120px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Change that to `margin:0;` and the images appear correctly.

 * Try changing:
 *     ```
       #header {
       margin:0 auto;
       padding:20px 0;
       position:relative;
       z-index:20;
       }
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       #header {
       margin:0 auto;
       padding:20px 0 0;
       position:relative;
       z-index:20;
       }
       ```
   
 * and remove `.home #content` from
 *     ```
       .msie #content, .single #content, .home #content, .page #content {
       padding-top:20px;
       }
       ```
