    Excuse my ignorance here, but how do I change my page margins for the homepage? I have a couple of photos but I need to control where the text sits, at present it is on full width and spreads right across the page.

    You will need to start customising your theme’s CSS – ideally via a child theme or custom CSS plugin.

    Thank you esmi, I have got a child theme style.css. What is the best way to have the child theme
    1. Copy the whole style.css from the parent theme or
    2. Just add changes, new formatting to a blank style.css?
    Thanks again I will read the above tutorials.

    Use Method 2 – although your child style.css file won’t actually be blank. It will have the relevant comment block at the top and a line importing the parent’s style first. All of your changes go after that import line.
