Working with blogger.com

I like Templates. Not quite like I like brightly coloured PVC.

The editor is not so great, in that the html it can generate is not very tidy in a visual way. Still it's simple to patch. And I might be making mistakes, but I'm making other stuff too.

A quick patch to the template file use screens full width. I wish I could do this to the editor.

I changed the width in the header, and width on content area,
from fixed pixel width to a percentage of the screen width.
I like the better screen fitting, from a fixed pixel size to a percentage

I think these changes make the page sit better on wider screens/displays.

/* Header ----------------------------------------------- */
#header { width: 90%; margin:0 auto 10px; border:1px solid #ccc; }

/* Content ----------------------------------------------- */
#content { width: 90%; margin:0 auto; padding:0; text-align:left; }
#main { width:70%; float:left; }
#sidebar { width:30%; float:right; }

Wish I could work out how to make the editor wider..
