    I wanted to increase the width of my blog, but figured it wouldnt be such a good idea because of the screen. So, I thought of a way to create more space : I want to move the text of the post closer to the white container.

    It's very simple, but hard to explain so if you dont understand what I mean, see here -http://olleqwer.webblogg.se/images/2010/wid_74876842.png

    Does anyone know how to fix that? My wordpress theme is Cordobo Green Park 2 0.9.502 , and I would be thankful for a reply.

    If you mean you want to get rid of the inner cell padding, you could try going into your table properties and adding "padding: 0px;".

    If that doesn't work, try posting the coding you've done so far.

    And thanks for the reply, I've tried this for atleast a week.

    Just add style="padding:0px;" in your table.

    Example:

    <table width="100px" height="100px" style="padding:0px;">
    <tr><td>something</td></tr>

    I went into the "stylesheet" template and scrolled down to "posts and pages" and found this:

    /* POSTs and PAGEs
    ------------------------------------------------------------------- */

    .page, .post, .pagetitle, .nocomments { padding: 0 28px; }
    .post, .nocomments { padding-bottom: 20px; }
    .post { margin-bottom: 30px; }
    .entry { margin: 15px 0 5px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; }

    .meta {
    background-color: #F4F8F9;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #E6F0F2;
    border-top: 1px solid #E6F0F2;
    color: #3e5867;
    display: block;
    font-size: 11px;
    height: 19px;
    line-height: 19px;
    margin: 0 -28px;
    padding: 6px 28px;

    text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #fff;
    width: 576px;
    }

    * html .meta { height: 1%; }
    .meta:after { content: "."; display: block; clear: both; visibility: hidden; line-height: 0; height: 0; }

    a.button-style {
    border: 1px solid #F4F8F9;
    border-radius: 3px 3px;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
    display: inline-block;
    height: 11px;
    line-height: 11px;
    padding: 4px 6px;

    width: auto;
    }

    So I found a padding but no ''table''. Should I still change the padding to 0? And which one of the paddings should I change to 0? I really need help with this, I've been sitting longer than a week trying to figure this out .. :(
