Hi John
I just made some changes to my blog and all of a sudden it is totally right aligned. I reversed my changes (which were changing the column widths) but this hasn't helped.
Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance

If you could use more meaningful subjects such as "Alignment problem" rather than "Confused" when posting here in the forum, that would help other folks in the future who might be searching the forums for help. Since the Search function's results page will pretty much only return the title of a page, a title like "Confused" doesn't provide them any meaningful information. Thanks in advance for your consideration.
In any case, it appears that you set your blog to use a 900 pixel wide main table, and also added 200 pixel margins to that main table, by using this code:
Code: | table.columns {
width: 900px;
margin-left: 200px;
margin-right: 200px;
text-align: left;
} |
I think that's probably the issue right there... You would need at least a 1300 pixel wide monitor for this to display properly...
You appear to have started with the code we published here, and modified it. I think your modifications are the culprit. If you just want to have a 900 pixel wide main table for your blog, you just need to modify our original instructions slightly:
Code: | table.columns {
width: 900px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
text-align: left;
} |
There's actually no need to specify the margins, and in fact that causes problems on monitors with fewer than 1300 horizontal pixels. Which is a lot of monitors...
Hope this helps. |

BTW, I see you have this code in your style template:
Code: | <iframe src='http://www.blogkits.com/btracker.php?BlogID=1498' frameborder=0 height=1 width=1></iframe> |
Your style template is only for CSS; you're better off putting any iframes into a custom component and dropping that component into your blog footer, for example.

No problem, didn't mean to come off like an angry schoolteacher scolding a pupil. |
