 * Hello,
 * Love the theme but youtube vids that are posted via link and then have WP convert
   to embedded video are not sizing properly and are larger than images. Videos 
   are overlapping sidebar.
 * Thanks for your help

 * I am trying to transition to the theme. The site is [http://dev.fleetingsurvival.com/](http://dev.fleetingsurvival.com/).
   The theme does not seem to dynamically adjust to screen / browser size. Instead
   of eliminating columns the Menu will collapse under the last post. YouTub vids
   seem especially susceptible to this.

 * Hi there
 * You need to change the css on youtube-player and enter the width 100%.
 * Do this as follows:
 * 1) Go to your dashboard on WordPress
    2) Click on Appearance > Editor 3) Copy
   the complete following line and paste it at the end of the CSS after the last
   bracket.
 * .youtube-player { width: 100% }
 * Make sure you include the dot in front of youtube-player.
 * 4) Click “Update File”
 * The video will now size correctly

 * Thank you for the fast reply.
 * At the end of the #footer #theme bracket? That did not work.

 * That didn’t work either.
 * If you want to take this offline I have no issue creating an account for you 
   so you can mess with it?
