want to narrow main page link

[tigersi]

Hi John,

I want to narrow the height of the page area where the "Main page" link shows on articles (in the center column at the top of the article. Right under the top nav bar). The intent is to narrow it enough so that the article's title shows "above the fold."

What code do I need to alter?

The intent is to narrow it enough so that the article's title shows "above the fold."

"Above the fold" is a newspaper term which means essentially the top half of the newspaper page; in terms of the web in means that which you can see without scrolling down. And that would depend on how big one's screen is of course, so there really is no exact definition in pixels as to what this term might mean.

Your blog has about 300 pixels from the bottom of the breadcrumb lines to the top of the article, and that space is taken up by a Google ad. There's about 26 pixels between the bottom of your header to the top of your breadcrumb line... So if you really want to make sure your article title stays above the fold, I would think about shaving some of those 300 pixels and not the 26...

In any case, in your template, the table.blogHeader class adds 8px of bottom padding, you could lower it to 2 by adding this customization to your style template:
