Column width change in Default Theme to fix 640x480 images (4 posts)

    Hi

    I am a new user of WordPress, and I am trying to make it cooperate with Coppermine Gallery. I found the plugin, and all is fine, but my images in Coppermine have a 640x480 dimension. When I insert a picture to WordPress, it stretches out of line ugly, and I would like to fix that.

    Can I add a few pixels to the width of the column, or force images to start more to the left than how it is now?

    I uploaded a few pics on a blog entry to show how it looks now. I would like the image to sit nicely and spaced even between the left and right margins. My image size should be 640x480 at all times, and upon a click on the image, the full size opens. All works fine, except the spacing in WP.

    Thanks a lot, and please bare with the noob :)

    Cheers

    Ben

    You can edit the style sheet and look for the .widecolumn class and change it to this.

    .widecolumn{
    margin:auto;
    padding:10px 0pt 20px;
    width:640px;
    }

    Hi

    Thanks, it was exactly what I was looking for.

    The only issue now is that on the mainpage, where I also have the right column with the links, images overlap that.

    How do I set it so that its applied even on the front page?

    Hi

    I was trying to modify other numbers in the Stylesheet, but I always ended up with a look that was not aligned at all, like it is by default.

    What may I change to make the picture fit on the front page where I have the menus on the right side?

    Thanks

    Ben
