A refreshing photo on a sunday morning.
Yes, I know it's too big for the space again, but for a seascape that's appropriate.PC Pit Stop
A newish computer and peripherals shop in the former garage on Albert Rd, where Hebburn merges in to Jarrow. I bought a Bearpaw 2400TA Plus scanner there on my last holiday at home. It was cheap, less than £40. Will it run with Vista? Oh yes, no trouble, just go on Mustek's website. They'd also order a laptop, to be ready the next day, for only £340. Splendid. I told them it was really important that it was ready the next day: this was Thursday, and I was flying back to Libya on the Saturday, early. "It's as good as here," said the man. I rang them on the Friday to see if it was there. "I've been trying to get in touch with you. We can't do it." Ach, well, these things happen... I was in the Town, anyway, and got a Samsung Curry's were doing for £399. And now I'm back in Libya with an utterly useless scanner. No way, no how, will the fucker run with Vista. I've been googling all evening trying to find a solution. There is...
If you go to your blogger template and look for:
ReplyDelete#main
{
width: 410px
}
and change the 410px to 500px, it will all fit.
Just tried that - it pushed the sidebar down to the bottom. How could I move the sidebar a bit to the right?
ReplyDeleteAh, it's because #main is within #content and #content wasn't wide enough.
ReplyDeleteChange #main to width: 500px, and change #content to width: 750px, that might do it.
It's a great tip, but if you've done all that, and I think you have, you might want to look at the site on a computer with a 'normal' small monitor and see if you get those annoying scroll bars appearing.
ReplyDeleteThe other way to go is customise your Flickr-to-blog setting. Choose layout, choose 'original size' and then click on the 'customise' button. You'll get a box of code, that's the stuff that needs fixing.
You can strip out all the first bit from < style to /style > because that's just annoying bumpf. I change the tag from "photo sharing" which tbh is a bit weird, and I put in {picture_title} instead. But you'll see the sizing in there, and you can experiment and see what works best. Give me a bing if that doesn't make sense. I am getting my eyes tested tomorrow, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's wrong-ish somewhere.
Anyhow, apols, really thought I'd mentioned this before...
Blog is looking great, btw.
