Heya,
I want to widen a couple of things in my template, have made a dummy site to show you what I mean. Any weebly users out there?
I can widen the page no problem though when I do, the blog feed widens automatically with it. I would like the blog feed to be 50 pixels wider and the sidebar to be 100 pixels wider. So overall the template itself will be 150 pixels wider. Here is the dummy site with some info there:
http://helpmeobiwan.weebly.com/
If you have a weebly account (if not they are free) and feel like helping that would be groovy indeed! The template on the dummy site is the one I wish to use so scroll about three times to the right on the designs tab and you'll see it.
Cheerio
that code exists in your template already, i merely identified the css class that controls the sidebar -currently its set at 200px
Thanks for your patience though we must be looking at different templates. What is the line number for the code you are referring to? There no such code in my css file that I can see. The theme name for my template is MistyLook.
At line 321 in my template all I can see is this:
#sidebar {
float: left;
width: 200px;
font-size:0.9em;
This I had already changed to 300 prior to posting here though it makes no difference at all to the sidebar width.
I found the class using the firebug add-on, made the edit and watched it work.
i double checked using your page source
open your template/code page and do a search for "column-blog"
I've searched several times for it. With the weebly editor we have limited access to two tabs for editing, one is called css and the other html. I'm guessing whatever is needed to control the width is in a file users don't have access to. If you can find the code you pasted above in the following css code I'll send you $20 AUD via Paypal

does this match your template code?
http://static-cdn.weebly.com/weebly/ima … mmon.css?4
line 89
its possible that the code im viewing comes from a weebly stylesheet that your site is drawing from ...im curious now, i have a couple of weebly accounts, lets see if i can remember my log in info
ill be back 15 mins or so, im logged into weebly seeing what your view is
http://writeformoney.weebly.com/
column width hasnt been an issue
where is archive / category etc ..so i can make a better mock-up
If you start with that template go to 'pages' and click new blog. You will have 'author', 'categories' and 'archives' automatically.
I don't have issues adjusting widths with plain web pages, just the blog page. I'm guessing it's a server-side thing that cannot be changed yet.
Tried exporting the whole template to gain access to other files though no luck, it still only has two files to edit and they are identical to those available in the weebly editor.
the initial code I posted added to the template does change the sidebar to 300 pixels
but now the positioning of teh text needs to be changed also..so ill be back
http://writeformoney.weebly.com/new-blog.html
http://writeformoney.weebly.com/new-blog.html
Now, the text is aligned properly with sidebar
Woot no.5!
Good job Now how'd you do it?
If you don't have the time or inclination to post it all up here now it's no problem, just send me a message to let me know when you've got it posted.
Must head out for a bit, many thanks though it was driving me nucking futs!
Cheers and thanks again
emailed the sidebar code ..than you need to change all 768's in the css, container,navigation etc. to 930 and place a properly sized image
this was more like it, right?
http://writeformoney.weebly.com/new-blog.html
Did a simple cut 'n' paste and voila! No problems.
Wow I don't even know how to thank you other than to say thanks! Load off my mind. Kind of you to stuff about for a stranger.
Cheers!
