Hi,
Hi Craig,
The preview is not intended to show exactly how the layout (or fonts etc) will look, as there are 9 or 10 different options, and limitless options once you consider everyone can customize their own template. We probably need to redo how the preview works altogether as I can see this is confusing...
Now to the widening question, yes, this is possible. Under Template, hit the Edit Template tab. That will give you a page with CSS, which controls how your blog looks. Find the line that reads
Making that width a higher percentage will increase the main part of the blog.
I should note though that this will push the navigation down underneat the entry, so you'd also need to edit the width percentage in this line:
Basically for every percent you add to the first, you'll need to remove one here. This is a pretty complex template to edit though, so it might not end up looking that good... you can always just reset the template if it gets really messed up though, so no harm in trying!
Hey Craig,
I'd recommend not changing that template. It's designed to scale up or down depending on the size of your browser window.
Actually, you must be looking at your blog on a fairly small resolution, because on my laptop (1440x900), the photos are actually showing side by side as desired. I can size my browser down to 1200px wide and they still show side by side. So you must be using something smaller than that (plausibly a netbook or similar).
A large percentage of your users will be browsing on resolutions at least 1200px wide, so I'd say it's nothing to worry about
Sam,
That worked a treat and sorted out my issues with the picture layout.
Peter,
Thanks for your reply, I changed the template fairly soon after Sam replied so you may have been looking at the updated version. I am using a Sony Vaio laptop, not netbook. Either way the problem is solved!
Thank you both for your help.
