Blog looks odd on bigger screens.

    Hi….I wonder if someone could help me with my photo-blog at
    https://www.coppercoastworkshops.com/minimalistics/ Everything looks fine on my 22″ monitor and on smaller screens, but I had an email from someone who said…

    “On the non-image pages (about, why, etc) the fluid structure is annoying. The header image and text below it is justified left – but the page title/nav and the comments below the images are centred…I’ve a 24″ monitor and the page looked unbalanced, resizing the browser window made things shuffle in relation to each other strangely.”

    It could be because on the “Miscellany + News” page I wanted the link to the page “Minimlistics and Minimalism” (child) to be on the left. So I added the following code to the CSS…

    .container ul {
    margin:0 auto;
    text-align:left;
    width:70%;
    }

    If anyone can advise if they have similar problems to those above and how it can be fixed so that it looks right on all screen sizes, it would be a great help.

    Thank you….george

  • It all looks relatively centered to me no matter how wide I stretch my window. It seems to work relatively consistently cross-browser too. I think maybe the issue is the way the header image, the title/menu bar, and the text scale differently. That is, the image is huge and doesn’t scale while the other two elements do.

    Me, if you are interested? I’d scale down the image (with CSS, probably, so that you don’t lose resolution) so that it more closely matches the text width then let the text and image scale together. Then also set a minimum width so that the ‘why’ in the menu bar never slides to the left of the image, but otherwise let it center like it does.

    Hi apljdi

    Thank you for getting back to me so quickly…and for letting me know that you haven’t experienced the same problems that the other writer had.

    Regarding the second paragraph, I think I see where you are coming from – but as this was my first attempt at blogging, my initial thoughts were to stay as close to the original theme settings as possible rather then. But
    I’ll have a good think about your suggestions.

    Meanwhile if anyone else experiences problems I’d be grateful if they would let me know. Thanks again.
