    Don't be an opportunist. Learn CSS from HTMLDog.com or W3C Schools.

      But unfortunately, being an opportunist, i cant get it done. As you appear to be a wordpress expert, i guess you can help in a much better way!

      It's hard for me to tell how you've dropped these into your site.

      One big flaw with your site is not having a wrapper around everything. That's generally how you center things.

      For example:

      #wrapper {
      width: 900px;
      margin-left: auto;
      margin-right: auto;

      }

      I'd suggest adding something like that to your .css and wrapping from your header.php to your footer.php page.

    I think if you take a closer look to some HTML tutorials you'll know how to do all this things and you'll see how easy it is.

    Go to wordpress settings->editor-> style.css

    1. Find the width of the page. It should be around 800px to 1000px. Increase that.

    2. In your posts, add a <div style="clear:both; border:1px solid black;">your post content here</div> I do not have time to look through your webpage to find the proper elements to edit therefore this will do.

      Read a little bit about child themes, you can change you whole theme without causing any major problems, with the site. I learned Css just with practising. SO just try everything out and practise

    Hi

    to enclose your post borders, try this:

    /* Style the First (or Only) Post */
    .custom .post.top {
    background:#FFFFFF none repeat scroll 0 0;
    border:15px #666666 !important;
    margin:1em;
    padding:2em;
    -moz-border-radi #us: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    -moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px black;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px black;
    box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px black;
    }

    if you want to apply this to all posts:

    /* Style Remaining Posts (in a Multi-Post Listing) */
    .custom .post.post_box {
    background:#FFFFFF none repeat scroll 0 0;
    border:15px #000000;
    margin:1em;
    padding:2em;
    -moz-border-radi #us: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    -moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px black;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px black;
    box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px black;
    }
