 |
|
Hello -
How come some of my articles (Changing Perspectives) are too wide that I have to scroll them horizontally to see the main body. How to control this?
Thanks for any forthcoming explanation.

| Is there an article you can point to which would illustrate this problem? |

Hi John !
Two articles "Strange Ride to Lourdes" and "2005: The Year That Was" (http://almanlangit.blogharbor.com) are two of them. Surprisingly, all the rest are fine. Since I changed the setting of the Blog to 3 columns, I don't see the third one on the ride unless I scroll horizontally across the page.

If you look at those articles carefully, you will notice that the images you used are what caused the width of the article to expand.
Your options would be to:- Reduce the width of the images
- Move to a 2 column layout to get more screen area for your articles
- Change the Color scheme to a full-screen scheme
Reduce the width of the images - You can do this by changing the HTML of the image itself or by choosing a different image.
For example, the Foggy Narbonne train station image on Strange Train Ride to Lourdes is set to display at 594 pixels wide according to the HTML you used (did you create this HTML elsewhere or was it created by our editor?):
| Code: | | <img style="width: 594px; height: 409px;" src="http://almanlangit.blogharbor.com/nar%202.jpg" height="409" width="556"> |
When I look at the image itself, the image is 750x563 pixels. So let's reset the image to be half that size using this code:
| Code: | | <img style="width: 375px; height: 281px;" src="http://almanlangit.blogharbor.com/nar%202.jpg" height="281" width="375"> |
Now that will reduce the size of the image as it is displayed on the page. You can alter your HTML in the Rich Text Editor by clicking on the Toggle Mode button on the bottom right of the editor, next to the smiley icon. Clicking the icon will toggle you between HTML Source mode and Display mode. In Source mode, you can alter your HTML.
Move to a 2 column layout - This may be easier. 3 columns will always reduce the amount of screen space you can use, so moving to a 2 column layout may be a good way to go.
Change the Color scheme to a full-screen scheme - Our original set of color schemes were full screen designs. In these schemes, the layout expanded to match the size of the user's screen. Some users prefer the aesthetic of a fixed width design centered on the page, so we created a set of 10 additional color schemes:- Beach
- Cranberry
- Greybeard
- Lime
- Midori
- Pale
- Prince
- Shore
- Spring
- Whiteout
using this fixed width style, which is the type of scheme you are using right now. Switching to a full-screen scheme would provide more blog display area on screens than larger than 800x600. |

Hi John -
I tried this third option but nothing happened. My blog still remains the same. However, the two-column solution worked. But I wonder, though, why the color scheme didn't.
Thanks!

The scheme you are using right now is not one of the full-screen schemes. The list above is of fixed-width schemes, and you're currently using one of them (Shore). Change to any of the other schemes, and refresh your browser and you will see the blog design expand to fit the size of the browser screen. |
