# Background Image Alignment

 * I am trying to change the amount of background image I see on every page of my
   blog. Currently, a large amount of background image is seen on the right side
   of the screen, with no image seen on the top, left or bottom of my blog content.
   I would like to create an even amount of background image visible on all sides.
 * Is this best edited in the editor section under style.css or do I need to add
   my own CSS?

 * Thank you in advance,

 * Looks like you are using a Wide Screen with a resolution width of probably 1920px.(
   Looks centered on smaller screens)
 * All you needs to do is in the editor section of style.css is add this at the 
   the very bottom.
 *     ```
       .site {
       	margin: 0 auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * To center horizontally.
 * Can you explain in more detail what else you want to change? I am not
    seeing:
 * > with no image seen on the top, left or bottom of my blog content.
 * Note: direct edits to parent themes are lost on theme update. Best practice is
   to use a Child Theme or Custom CSS Plugin.
