 * Hey everyone,
 * I’m wondering if it is possible to remove the background (whether it’s a background
   image or only a background color) from my webpage, so that the content and sidebars
   take up the entire screen. I have a feeling this would have to do with eliminating
   margins, but I’m not 100% sure how to go about it.
 * For reference: nuparc.org
 * I’m looking at the empty white space on either side of the content.
 * Thanks!

 * Try this
 * Look for #wrapper in your themes/pinboard/style.css and change it with
 *     ```
       #wrapper {	

       position: relative;
       max-width: 100%;
       padding: 0 2%;
       margin: 0 auto;
       overflow: hidden;
       }
       ```
   
 * And you need a bigger header image
