   What section of the CSS do I change if I want the padding and insets to be decreased on the main content?
   See here: http://chetest.iu.edu/cln/CLN-Web/WEB/CLN/cln_redesign_test/content/AB/About.html.
   I want all of the content, links, etc, to line up where the top heading bar with IUPUI begins. See the included screenshot for what I am talking about. Ideally, it would be best if the design was fluid, so that when expanding or stretching, the insets were roughly the same.

   Hello ericagilbert,

   Our themes are fixed width (pretty much all themes are now). To change the layout to a "liquid" structure where everything is resized with the screen resolution would take quite a bit of customization and would have to be considered custom work.

   If I were to customize it myself, where would you suggest I start?

   I would start in /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/style.css. We have outlined all of the various sections.

   Here is a tutorial on liquid layouts, http://www.maxdesign.com.au/articles/liquid/, but it's going to be a lot of work. If it's mission critical then I would go ahead and find a theme specifically designed for this.

   You know it's HTML/CSS, right, not a theme?

   I didn't notice, you would still start in the style.css file though.
