Default Stretching a Wordpress Theme

Home Business Blog how to make money from home and small businesses

It's too tight, soo tight I can't even put a youtube video in .

Curious how I would go about getting rid of the blank spaces on either side and giving that extra space to the content or middle column?

Thanks in advance,

I think that's perfect. When I saw you open this thread I was like "Eureka". Any way to add a few pixels of padding between column 2 and 3? Digitally slap me if I'm pushing my luck.

Many thanks,

Looks great but when I put a YouTube Video in the right column still goes under neath like it's not wide enough. Anyway to make it as wide as possible without screwing it up on higher resolutions? I'm thinking maybe i should get rid of some of the wide stuff on left column and resize that column? What do you think Bob?

P.S thanks for tinkering and to those just reading this yes Bob has the login to the blog he didn't just hack is way in and help lol

How big is a youtube video, it would probably have been simpler if I'd just asked that at first, lol

Default Re: Stretching a Wordpress Theme

Are you not using a youtube plugin? If you embed it with just that code you'll never be able to edit the post as WP removes all embedding when you go back to the editor.

Also I don't understand why that doesn't work as it only 425 pixels and you have 495?????

Wasn't using the plugin. I saw a friend of mine just put one in on his first blog post without modifying anything so assumed. Yes that is what I get for assuming.

Thanks again Bob.
