Thread: Widening post-text area

Hi In order to widen your post area you have to widen the width of the whole site because you can't make your sidebar narrower. That normally is easy enough to do, but its complicated in your case by the graphic images in your site. Take a look at this URL which is your header image. http://theboomtownrap.perthpunk.com/wordpress/wp-c ontent/themes/sunsetidea-10/sunsetidea-10/images/h eader...

There is some space to the right of your menu. Try this: Under #sidebar set width to 155px Under .boxed set margin -right to -20px (that is minus 20px) Is there no way to resize the embedded one's to a standard size?

stvwlf, Yes, I see what you mean about those rounded corners. You may well be right about your simpler solution. Thanks for your comments. henkholland Thanks for your suggestion - appreciated. However, I can't find #sidebar or .boxed. Should I be looking in Page Template, Sidebar, or somewhere else, please? (I have looked through both of those but can't find those two items you refer to)....

What is the code you use to embed that object, because it may be easier to change the size of the object rather than readjust the whole page? Just a thought.

Sorry Ross, look in your template folder in the file style.css Make a safe copy before doing anything.

Hi again henkholland - and thanks for your clarification. I did try those mods you mentioned, but they didn't work unfortunately. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Appreciate your willingness to assist. apljdi After reading your suggestion, I checked the embedding code from YouTube and reduced the width of the screens until I found the measure that was best. I'm not sure if by reducing the ...

Site looks good. I would alter the sizes proportional; width - 10% then also height -10%

henkholland, do you mean reduce a further 10% from what I've already reduced the width? Or do you mean that if I've reduced the width by 10%, I should also reduce the height by 10%? Cheers Ross

if I've reduced the width by 10%, I should also reduce the height by 10% yes

OK, thanks. Just a couple of quick parting queries, pls: 1. To reduce by 10%, do I just calculate 10% of the number of pixels that make up the width and depth, then type in that calculation in the embedding code, or is there some way to select a % reduction without making such calculations? 2. Since you guys have both seen my site, is there some simple CSS modification I can make to realign...
