 * Please tell me how to increase my page width. I need it to fit a header image
   of 950px so something like 990px would be ideal.
 * My website is: [](http://www.best-drum-set.com)
 * Please help

 * This is done in your style.css
 * If you look in there, you will see this:
 * #wrap {background-color:#fff; color:#333; margin:0 auto; width:760px;}
 * Just change 760px to 990px

 * Thanks, any idea why my header image wont show and why its alligned to the left?(
   like everything else for some reason see the write a comment at the bottom of
   the page).
 * My header.php reads:
 * _[code moderated as per [forum rules ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome)-
   please use the [pastebin](http://pastebin.com/)]_
 * Many thanks,
 * Sam

 * Your header isn’t showing because the quotes are closed too soon and you have
   an irrelevant tag in the src attribute.
 * Should look like this instead:
 *     ```
       <img id="frontphoto" src="http://www.best-drum-set.com/front1.jpg" width="950" height="200" alt="banner-image" /><br />
       ```
   
 * Its aligned left because, since you changed your site’s width the header image
   is now 40 pixels smaller than its container. Upload a new 990px wide image to
   fit the space.

 * Thanks,
 * I’ve changed my page wdith to match the header but something funny is still going
   on, for example the image that says “looking to learn the drums” is aligned right,
   why is it now on the left? And the “write a comment” why is this wrapping round
   the bottom banner image?
 * Thanks,
 * Sam

 * I’m looking at it and the “Looking to Learn Drums” image is still floated right
   and the Write Comment box is breaking below your banner. Fixed since your last
   post?
