 * Hi,
    I really want to swap to this theme. It has better features than the one
   I am using correctly. I am just trying to make sure I can modify it the way I
   like it. I am trying to make the pages wider. I’ve tried using:
 *     ```
       .page {
          width: 980px;
       }
       ```
   
 * It does the job, although the page aligns to the left. How can I get the page
   content to align in the center?

 * I have a similar issue in the post layout is narrow, pages can get a wider template
   assigned but not posts.. am I needing to make a custom template for the posts
   or is there an easier way..
    Thanks

 * [@andreaag](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreaag/) – be careful when 
   changing page widths like that – you’ll break your site’s responsiveness (ability
   to adapt automatically to mobile devices) if you change the content width without
   putting it in a media query. Could you provide a link to your site running Dara?
   It’ll be easier to help you that way.
 * [@landed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/landed/) – could you please start
   your own thread and in that new thread, provide a link to the specific page you
   need help with? Sounds like you might be referring to the blog page, but we should
   be sure before giving you any CSS.
