Newpaper theme & layout/formatting

Hi, so I’m still evaluating this for our use and I have it installed with the newspaper theme details I found in another support ticket here. There is still some issues with the way the layout sits and Ive been trying to see how to edit it.

I don’t think I can edit the pages directly as they come up blank through the wordpress editor, is that right? I wanted to look at the layout in total but I was going to start with how the text is all pushed up against the far left side. I found that if you add ‘td-container’ in the ‘geodir_wrapper_open’ class field in the custom theme settings (doing this under the newspaper custom) and include:

‘#geodir-wrapper {
background-color:#fff;
}

In the required CSS it will push the text so it’s sitting properly and will also add the missing background in. But, when I do this the background still only starts where the text starts. You can see what I mean if you go to https://geeksociety.com.au/directory/ and scroll down as opposed to the main https://geeksociety.com.au page.

Id like to fix this background part because that looks really odd but I was also wondering how the layout works as parts like the right hand column Id like to fix how they display (as not taking up the entire column for example, or look at how the ‘add listing’ drop down works because I dont see how you add a listing with it.
