 * Hello everyone,
    My first ever post here. Alright so basically I am noticing 
   that the width of my blog is a bit too wide and I would like to shorten it a 
   little bit. So i would appreciate if someone could tell me how to do it. Also,
   what is the preferred blog width? Here is my website: [http://theiteckhq.com/](http://theiteckhq.com/)
   Second question, which isn’t as important, but how can I have a featured post
   widget right underneath the logo or in other words above my content but below
   the logo. I want the widget to be similar to the one in this website ([Here](http://www.idownloadblog.com/))
 * That’s it! Thanks.

 * Especially with the kind of content you’re offering, you should really be using
   a responsive theme so it can be viewed on mobile devices too, and not a fixed-
   width theme which is best just for desktops.
 * Once you’ve switched to a responsive theme, create a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes),
   copy the header.php file from your parent theme, and add a [custom widget position](http://codex.wordpress.org/Widgetizing_Themes)
   for the featured post right where you want it.
