 * Hello,
 * Can someone tell me how I can decrease the width of my content/container area
   on my pages? I want to set a background image and allow it to be more visible
   on the sides by narrowing my content area. I do not want there to be sidebars,
   so I have been working with the “full width mode” template.
 * I can’t figure out how to decrease the container width, while keeping the entire
   thing centered on the page. Help please!
 * Lindsi

 * You can remove all widgets from sidebars and they will be blank. If you want 
   a custom width I don’t know someone else will have to help.
