# Column Width?

 * Hey! Looks like this theme is brand new 🙂
 * I am curious – is there any way to control the width of the single column? I 
   like the style but there is an awful lot of white space on both sides, and it
   can’t house a 728×90 ad either, it seems.
 * Is there a way I can tweak it to get a little more width?

 * Hey Tanktronic,
 * There’s no way to control the width (yet), but a 728×90 should fit. If you set
   the image to no alignment or align center, it should show up normally.
 * If you’re seeing something different happen, is there a place I can take a look?

 * Yes, the pages and posts I have are tiny and there’s a ton of space on the sides.
   Is there a manual way I could fix this? Maybe in the CSS?

 * Hi FlourescentTurban,
 * Do you have an example I could check out?
 * One way to reduce the width with CSS would be something like:
 * body {
    margin: 2.5em auto; max-width: 800px; }

 * Yes, on my website evanschweikert.com/about you can see the body is much smaller
   in width than I want it. You can see where it is and how I want it wider here:

 * With the body CSS you showed me, this is what happens, which is not what I want:

 * Hi Evan,
 * If you put that CSS at the end of the template CSS, it should look like this:

 * If it’s not at the end of the CSS, then other rules are overriding it.

 * Well I don’t want the whole body to be bigger, I just want the text to be wider
   and not be so constricted like in this picture: [http://i.imgur.com/DwNJtAH.png?1](http://i.imgur.com/DwNJtAH.png?1)
 * How can I do that?

 * I see that you fixed the issue. Can you post the solution here please.
    Additionally,
   I want to change the max width of the whole content area. If possible someone
   can help me do that. There’s a lot of css code, I’m not able to edit it as per
   what I need.
 * Much appreciated. Thanks!
