code update

I'll be doing a code push shortly. Since it has been a month since the last one, I expect this one will be a little turbulent. There's a lot of fixes, tweaks, and updates going live with this particular push.

As always, if you see something terribly wrong, open a support request or comment here and we'll take a look at what's going on.

Edit: Push complete.

Can you explain how to do this, please? I am pretty clueless about CSS - I can put in stuff that people have told me about, but don't know anything about formatting it properly - so I'd need to know exactly what to type in!

There should be a post in [site community profile] dw_styles soon, but for now, here's the exact instructions:

Go to [http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options.bml]
In the menu, there should be an option called Custom CSS.
Follow that link, and you'll get to a page with a large text entry box.
Go right to the end of any code you already have in the text entry box. Make sure you don't delete any punctuation (eg } ) from the end of it.
On a new line, type exactly this:
#container {margin: 0;}
If that makes it too wide for you, delete that line and try this instead:
#container {width: 96%; margin-left: 2%;}

Thanks! That works perfectly (the first one, with 0). But I've written down the instructions (so I have some chance of finding them again!) anyway.

Thank you for the step-by-step instructions so someone who's technically challenged like me can understand. Still, I was looking for something that was marked, "Large text entry box" at first. *hides*

Once I got over my temporary idiocy I figured it out and got it to look like what I wanted.

Thanks again! :)
