I've enjoyed seeing which new templates people are choosing, and the ways they set them up. I would like to have 3 columns like many do, but I can't figure a way to get my large photos centered. I just don't think it works.
Jacqueline from Purple Chocolat Home, asked me to come tell her how I adjusted the width of my blog. I figured others may not have found where to do it yet, either, so I will let you know. If you have discovered any tricks or tips, please leave a comment, and if you want, a link to your blog in the comment to fill us in on what all fun things we can do.
What I did do, was go into "layout" and saw that you could adjust the width. It's in the second column, after, "Body Layout" and "Footer Layout". I drug the little arrow for the entire blog clear to the right, to make it the widest I could, then adjusted the right sidebar until the photos on both sides were pretty much centered. My numbers ended up being 1,000 and 230 px.
I just went to Jacqueline's blog, and saw that she is not using a Blogger template, so I don't know if this will be helpful. Jacqueline, maybe you can use the numbers of px to find a way to adjust yours.
Blogger does make it confusing don't they?
ReplyDeleteThe last time I "disturb" the setting and everything went wrong. It would really help if you start with creating a new blog and experiment it there, and so, once you get the hang of it, you can accurately change it in your treasured blog.
ReplyDeleteI have had much luck with the info from "Sneaky Momma Blog Design. http://sneakymommablogdesign.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteMe I am lucky, it's my sister who make the design, I have just to tell her what I want and in a few day it's ready. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteMe - I am not so fortunate. I struggle with blogger trying to learn. But it is through trial and error I am figuring things out. Thanks for the tips. I need more tips.
ReplyDeletesneaky momma blog design is great! wonder where she got her name? anyways thanks for bringing up the subject.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sue, I am really afraid to experiment and just go with the template as is. I like the green background on yours and your header picture. Although we use the same template, yours looks entirely different. Thanks for the tips. Pam x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on the formatting - I too have been experimenting - you seem to have found a good layout. claudia
