 * I would like to be able to change the fix width template I am using to a variable
   width so it fills up all of my 1280 x 1024 screen, instead of jsut 770 pixels
   in the middle. Then of course, I want it to resize automatically down to fix 
   those who use lower resolutions. I know it’s probably fairly easy to do, but 
   I don’t know how!
 * Any pointers gratefully received..
    I’ve jsut started using WordPress, so thought
   this would be a good time to tinker about with it

 * Considering how much of the default theme is designed around the idea of being
   a fixed-width design, I think you’d be better served looking for an existing “
   re-sizable” theme and modify that to your tastes. A list of themes for 1.5 can
   be found here:

 * Fujiyama is an ems based template which resizes with the font size, and Maximus
   is a full width template with a RH menu. Both are freely available with a tasteful
   range of style sheets at [http://thebombsite.com/Layouts/124](http://thebombsite.com/Layouts/124)
