Hi again Chris,
Step #4 didn't work for me, probably because i have no idea where in the style.css file to place the line

#fullwidth {width:100%;}

I tried placing it at the bottom of the section titled: "BODY, CONTAINER, AND PAGE STUFF" because that made the most sense to me.
Sorry, can you please advise?
Thanks

Sure thing...

3. You'll see the following...

<div class="narrowcolumn">

...change it to this...

<div id="fullwidth" class="narrowcolumn">

4. Add something like this...

#fullwidth {width:100%;}

After putting this off for a few days, I was ready to try it. I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to help me with steps 3 & 4. I am not a coder, so I don't really understand your instructions unfortunately. Thanks!

You'll need to create a custom page template for this. Check this out: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

Here's a brief rundown..

  1. Duplicate the "page.php" file and rename it to something like "fullpage.php".
  2. Add the "template name" stuff (mentioned in the above link) to the top of the file.
  3. Add an ID of something like "fullwidth" to the narrowcolumn div
  4. In the "style.css" file, change the width of the page by adding your width setting to the #fullwidth div.
  5. Select the newly created page template in the drop down menu on the page edit screen for your calendar page.

Hey Chris, can you help me out with this info?
Again, I only want to change this single page's structure.
Thanks

Hi Chris,
Please look at my "Calendar" page at the following link: http://lbc-rs.org/calendar/
I was able to remove the sidebar in order to make my calendar wider (found instructions at WordPress forum).
However, as you can see, the box behind the calendar is its original size.
I would like to expand this box to fit around the calendar. Can you help me with this please?
I'm relatively new at this but I'm eager to follow your instructions.
Thanks!!
P.S. What do you CALL this box that i'm trying to resize? wrapper??
