WordPress.com blog - Need quick help

Hey there !

I'm working on a WordPress.com blog and here's the problem :

I'm using default Twenty Fourteen Theme and unable to change the main content width. The main content width is just occupying a part of the screen, I want to occupy more space but unable to do so.

Also, I tried with CSS, but it's a pro feature so can't really use it.

If anyone can help regarding this without me going into pro-feature , please help !

PS : It's a little urgent.

Thanks in advance ! 😁

Any other descent looking theme would also do...

If not possible to resize the main content width please suggest a free descent theme 😀

Ok, adding a test post..

But I can't really edit the CSS (as it's a pro feature)

Just can't edit the CSS, and some other stuff as WordPress.com offers it as a paid feature.

Can you add extra css? If yes, we can think about something. You don't have to make changes to the default CSS; just overwrite the existing values.

That's the main problem, I'm even unable to have my own style sheet , all they want is their upgrade to be purchased.

That's really sad. If they even allowed an extra style sheet, I've recover from this problem myself.

ok there is a div with class entry-content inside web page, just add following inline style : style="max-width: 100%;" to it, your post will start taking complete space

It will look this then

I know but unable to change the CSS, even overriding CSS can't be done without upgrade.

That's really annoying.

I'd suggest you get some server space rather than using the wordpress' free service if you want to tweak a lot with the looks and the way it works! Well, there are a bunch of free hosting services. Cannot really say they are all top class. Still, to learn or for basic things, it is enough. Most free hosting services have a slow responding network though.

I have a hosting already, and have a WordPress.org installation, I wanted to have a WordPress.com one too.. 😛
