# Post body width

 * I am trying to create a series of posts called “spotlights” in which I intend
   on just having a picture and some content. I do not want any author meta, date
   or any of the stuff that takes up the left hand space. I used a plugin to remove
   the author meta, but the content is still squished rather than using the available
   width (space where the author meta used to occupy).
    Can someone help me with
   the right configuration to reclaim that space so my articles and these little
   blips don’t look so squished?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpost-body-width%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
