@Richard-Keith Hi Richard, thanks for coming back at me on this! I've actually put the max-width of the site to "0" now, so i dont have the problem anymore with the carousel. Originally I couldn't fit the carousel to 100%, as it would only go as far as the max-width. Hope that makes sense. Thanks and maybe you have a solution for this?
Dear @ryanbartaby
you set up Wordpress and layTheme under a subdomain. Once the website is ready you point the domain to that folder. Best is to ask Dreamhost for this. Always be sure :-)
