sorry to create a new thread about this but just wondering. can wordpress be full width instead of fixed? simple enough. thanks any and all input is appreciated
Absolutely. There are hundreds of fluid WP themes out there. Have a look at WordPress Themes Viewer and select "Fluid Width"
Yes it can be because the theme you are knowing about it fixed. If you use the other themes as ActorMike suggested you will be able to achieve the full width for the wordpress with the use of templates.
