I am trying to follow your instructions using the This Just In theme.
Question:
I want to use my own header. How do I replace the photo/image that is on the top fot he theme page (ie. header)? I only see two options – widgets and menus and neither helps.
Do I go into Header.php?
If so, what do I change? Else, what do I do?

PS —
This is almost funny.
I actually typed each line in the center of the Comment area. Only when I view it, each list is hugging the left margin.

back againi.
I’m trying to type up a list but not using the left margin. It is in the midle of the page.
My writing is all over the place and I can’t control it. For example, say I want this list:
1. Attend the weekly meeting of bass fishing.
2. Pick up the kids after school.
3. Get the laundry washed and buy a gallon
of milk for dinner.
====================================================
What I get looks more like this:
1. Attend the weekly meeting of bass fishing.
2. Pick up the kids after school

3. Get the laundry washed and buy a gallon of
milk for dinner.
=============It is a mess! How do I control format, margins, etc.=========

Yes.

See the theme preview, most themes have the full width page under page templates on the menu.

Check for Full Width.

Real quick, I would like to make certain of something.
In the Elegant themes will I be able to write in my pages to include the area that would otherwise have included the sidebar??
I am practicing on the standard 2011 theme and although I changed attributes to one column (no sidebars) I cannot access that space formerly occupied by the sidebar. Very frustrating and I dont want that to be the case with another theme.
Your help in clarifying this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your help!
Also, I am wondering if there are any free templates available with the full width buildt into them so I can practice uploading them and working on them as a tester before getting what I want at Elegant. I would prefer to make my mistakes on a practice site and get some experience there first.
