Changing Page Width

  • The CSS is a little different so I’m not sure how to change the width of the full page. I changed the width for the posts to fit a Google Calendar there, but it pushed the right sidbar to the bottom of the page. To see what I mean take a look at https://redpillfilms.org

    Please let me know what I can change to make the page it’s self wider so the sidebar will move back to the right from the bottom of the page.

    Thanks.

  • To be honest, I don’t know if setting a wider page width will be the best move.
    If anything, shoot for fluid. Most standard monitors will require scrolling to the right and left to see the page in full if you widen the page any further.

    I’d advise attempting to shrink the main content frame a little. Including the calendar. Should be achievable through your CSS.

    1. Not to mention users who doesn’t have their web browser maximized. It is not always easy to hit that 1024 width with a window.

    2. you should try to keep a width of around 66 characters text because the eye doesn’t work well beyond 66 columns of text (which is why that is the standard for typesetting).

    While you’re at it, maybe create a width that is relative to em, or size of the browser and any high DPI setting. Pixel-perfect just doesn’t work out well.
