 * Why isn’t there some sort of tutorial for this plugin. The directions are pretty
   vague.
    I would recommend a tutorial on how to make a standard full width template
   for a WP post, etc. If I was THAT experienced in CSS & php, I wouldn’t need a
   plugin to help make it easier on myself. The directions say “8. To create new
   custom Post Template you need to put the new file in the same directory/folder
   as your index.php and just need to add comment (WP Post Template: Your New Post
   Template Name) in your new post template file same as you do for page template.”
   What new file? Am I supposed to create a new custom post php file to use? What
   would even be the point then of using this plugin. If I could create a custom
   post php file, I wouldn’t need this plugin.

 * Yes. We have to create our own php template file. 🙁 Found that out the hard 
   way.
