 * Hi Richie
 * I’m having some problems with the width of my pages, would really appreciate 
   some help. My home page, posts and images seems to be stretched horizontally 
   compared to the mesocolumn preview and I can’t figure out what’s causing it.
 * Homepage: [http://www.thewholeworldisaplayground.com/](http://www.thewholeworldisaplayground.com/)
   
   The slider, title, sidebar etc all look stretched. I tried adding this to the
   stylesheet but it didn’t change anything #custom .content {width: 69%; /*reduce%*/}

   I tried narrowing the post content with #post-entry article .post-content { width:
   80% !important; } this narrowed the text but I couldn’t figure out how to narrow
   the post tile or center the content.
 * I’ve reset all the main aspects of the these. Any help would be appreciated, 
   it’s driving me crazy.
 * Thanks
    Elaine

 * I am having the same problem with my site at [http://www.creativesolvibrations.com](http://www.creativesolvibrations.com)
   I went to the background color in appearance, but there was nothing there that
   I could remove. I’m not sure what else to do.
