 * Hey,
 * Im really embarrassed to ask this as im sure it really simple, but I just need
   some help, so any advice if much appreciated! I am a novice and will need your
   help in the simplest terms possible, thank you very much.
 * Locketclothing.com
 * There are two issues:
 * 1. The margins of all the pages need to be ajusted, and im sturggling with how
   to do this, as I am a complete novice. I need the pages centred with equal margins
   either side. I also wanted the page to be 4 images wide.
 * 2. The text on the products page, as you can see it is in a very narrow column
   down the page, I need to adjust this. The same applies for the ‘About’ page.
 * Any help is a lifeline, Thank you!
 * Bruce

 * Read up on CSS.
 * Then get yourself either a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   or a plugin that allows you to modify the stylesheet ([http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css&sort=](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css&sort=)–
   find one that’s well rated and up-to-date) and start to create your own custom
   styles.
 * Looking at your existing stylesheet, you probably want to do something like this:
 *     ```
       #single-content{
       min-width:300px;
       max-width:1024px;
       margin:0 auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * Min-width is the minimum width the id=”single-content” (that’s what #single-content
   means in CSS) will collapse down to. Max-width should be pretty obvious. Margin
   is set to 0 on top and bottom and ‘auto’ on left and right. This forces the div
   to be centered in the window (if the div has a width or max-width specified).
 * Hope this helps.

 * Okay thank you, I’ll have a go at that.
 * All the best,
