How to Make a Blog Wider

We all need a bit of extra width to increase capacity, especially on our Blog.

There is a great set of instructions for doing this on the web at this address: http://beginner-blogger-basics.blogspot.com/2008/03/how-to-change-width-of-blogger-blogs.html.

Changing the standard blog template basically entails 4 things.

First we increase the width of the Outer Wrapper and then we increase the width of the Header.

We then adjust the two columns inside the Outer Wrapper. These two columns are the Post column and the Sidebar column. Lastly we increase the width of the Footer.

The result for our blog is a text width of 550 pixels, rather than the standard 400 pixels.

This blog has been widened to 550 pixels, which is very handy for when we need to embed You Tube videos, Flickr Slidshows, scrollable PDF's or Open Office SWF format Presentations, because we can also make all these items up to 550 pixels wide.
