 * Hi,
 * Recently I activated 2017 and I want to have a wider area for my blog posts, 
   so that I have have the text wrap around the images aligned to the right (see
   example URL). I know this has been asked several times, and I tried a few of 
   the CSS solutions, though none of them worked for me.
 * Do I have to create a child theme for this, or can I just add the CSS to the 
   Customize > Additional CSS field?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fincrease-blog-post-width%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * In your case I think it would make sense to avoid aligning images left or right
   if they are quite large.
 * To make the blog area wider, in the “Additional CSS” section of the dashboard
   add this:
 *     ```
       .single-post:not(.has-sidebar) #primary, 
       .single-post:not(.has-sidebar) .site-content .wrap,
       .page.page-one-column:not(.twentyseventeen-front-page) #primary, 
       .archive.page-one-column:not(.has-sidebar) .page-header, 
       .archive.page-one-column:not(.has-sidebar) #primary {
           max-width: none;
       }
       ```
