Alright,
I have been editing a wordpress theme to better suit my needs and have almost everything done and when I check on my laptop, which is widescreen it looks great, but on my desktop it is much too wide an image, I cannot see the outside border.

So my question is how to I change the width of the theme in general, is it in the stylesheet, if so what would it be under? I can do most of this myself, but I think the issue is that it is a fixed width theme that is set to large. Any help would be greatly appreciated, the site is

Thanks in advance,
Sylvia

    Go into your style.css file - Appearance/Editor (it is the default file) and look for this:

    .menu1 {
    float: left;


    make it

    .menu1 {
    float: right;

    See what that does to you.

    Something else you can do to make it a little better is to change this line:

    .menu1 {
    float: right;
    width: 180px;

    to something like:

    .menu1 {
    float: right;
    width: 210px;

    You'd have to play around with the value a bit to see what looks best.

    Okay, another issue, I figured I better check and see how it looks in IE and it is crap compared to firefox, sooo how do I make the top grey bar go away (it's present in IE not in firefox) and how do I make the menu at the top look in IE like it does in FF?

    Thanks in advance for your help.
