 * I cant seem to change the width of the body of my page. I am using the new wordpress
   editor. I have the default set to both sidebars and sidebar / content/ sidebar
   and the homepage is set to default, but it just won’t hange. The content is way
   to close to the edge and how do i stop those background colours from being so
   wide?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpage-width-72%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
