Help me in changing the Layout of one of the pages of my wordpress blog

    I have a self hosted wordpress blog. I have customized it such that for one of the "pages", left side bar and right side bar are not visible.

    Now I want to increase the width of the center column (or page column) (only for this particular one page) ... do I need to tweak the CSS for that or is there any other way?

    Looking forward to your help in this regard.

    Thanks!

    It totally depends on what theme you're using and how it is coded. It can be done in a template or the CSS file. You may need to experiment. The default Wordpress CSS file is style.css. If it is a page template then see below on how to find and edit that file.

    If the page you want to change is using the default template then you need to modify the pge.php file. If you are using a different template then you need to edit that specific template.

    To edit your static page templates or CSS file log into Wordpress then click Appearance > Editor. Then click the appropriate template or style.css to edit it. What I'd do then is copy that code into a good HTML editor so you can see the tags highlighted. This will assist you in determining what code to edit.

    That will get you to the files you need to edit.

    Good luck with it...
