Viewing at different resolutions?

  • My blog is https://www.jarfullofrocks.com

    My screen resolution is set at 1600×900 and I don’t have to have my browser window set to full to view my blog, but my husband’s resolution is at 1280×800 and can only see the entire blog if he has his browser maximized. Otherwise, the dates on my blog which are on the left are getting cut off and a bit of the RSS tag is also getting cut off and he’s not getting a scroll bar on the bottom to even be able to see the entire blog. Now, that is in Chrome. If he is using IE to view the blog, he does get a scroll bar on the bottom of the browser, BUT he cannot scroll to the left to see the date tag at all. So what I’d like to know is if there is a way that I can fix this so that people who are using a lower screen resolution can see all the way to the left of the blog. I don’t particularly care if someone has to scroll left to right to see the entire thing…that’s to be expected when you are using a lower resolution (at least I’d think so), but I don’t see why the left of the blog would be cut off.

  • Try editing style.css and changing:

    #page {
width:980px;
}

    to:

    #page {
margin-left:75px;
width:980px;
}

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. The code for the #page area of the css looks like this in the chocotheme default:

    #page { width: 980px; margin: 0 auto; }

    I tried changing the margin: 0 auto to the margin-left… that you provided and I also tried just adding the margin-left… code before the width in the default code. Neither changed anything.

    Thanks for trying to help. I appreciate it.
