# Responsive theme on a smartphone

 * In order to match my own preferences I’ve edited the padding of the main content
   part. While I think this looks better for my website when displayed on a desktop,
   the mobile version squeezes the text into a very narrow and oblong block.
 * I’ve edited the following CSS turning it into:
 * .hentry {
    padding-top: 40px; padding-left: 90px; padding-right: 90px; padding-
   bottom: 10px;
 * }
 * How can I make the main content display in a normal way on a smartphone, avoiding
   the above?
 * Many thanks in advance!

 * Hi, You need some conditional css which kicks in when the browser width reduces.
   For example:
 *     ```
       /* for 400px or less */
       @media only screen and (max-width:400px) {
       .hentry {padding:10px}
       < more css here if needed >
       }
       ```
   
 * If you want, you can have multiple conditional statements for progressively reducing
   screen widths. Search for “responsive css” for more info.
