Wide enough for images

    I’m posting images up to 600 pixels wide. This is wider than the default template allows, so I’ve dived into the css to see if I can find where to change the values. I found this code:

    .narrowcolumn {
    float: left;
    padding: 0 0 20px 45px;
    margin: 0px 0 0;
    width: 450px;
    }

    .widecolumn {
    padding: 10px 0 20px 0;
    margin: 5px 0 0 150px;
    width: 450px;
    }

    Is it safe to change the width values here, or will the rest of the layout break?

    Is there a way to make the post column’s width dynamic so that it adjusts to the size of the content?

    I’d be happy with another theme that does this if there’s one out there.

    Thanks for the help (and apologies for being such a css-illiterate newbie 🙂

    Yes, depending on which template you’re using, you’ll need to make your layout wide enough to hold the images *and* the sidebar or anything else that affects the width.

    As to whether it’s safe, try copying the file before you change it.

    As to dynamic width, I can’t think of one offhand. Doesn’t mean there isn’t one; perhaps I’m just tired.
