 * I agree that learning abouthow to use html is the answer in the long run but 
   often someone out there has been down the same road and can see the problem.
 * try this
    instead of [http://www.swankpets.com](http://www.swankpets.com) for
   the link simply put ..
 * that’s right just the two dots. When i used this in the browser it sent the browser
   back to the root. Just like ../will take you back a folder.
 * it is html and not WordPress
 * try it.

 * I found out how to limit the one column from resizing and set it to a certain
   size.
 * in the style.css find the .item section and add a line such as width:500px; or
   whatever size you need.
 * Then it will fit your iframe.
 * BTW the header is included in my template but it is a single word and works fine
   just as a title.
 * hope this helps.

 * I figured this out myself after searching around with no luck.
 * The section that needs to be changed is: .item
 * I added-> width:500px;
 * to the list.
    That did the trick. Here is that section in full.
 * For those who want a single column that won’t resize.
    this is it. I am using
   it within an iframe.
 * ……………………………….
 * .item {
    padding: 10px; background-color: #CCCCCC; background-image: url([http://www.windymeadows.org/images/wm_bg_wp.jpg](http://www.windymeadows.org/images/wm_bg_wp.jpg));
   background-repeat: no-repeat; width:500px; text-align:left; border: 1pt solid#
   009933; margin-bottom: 1em; border: 1pt solid #669966;

 * I am using a one-column WordPress template in an iframe.
 * I used the theme generator:
    [http://www.yvoschaap.com/wpthemegen/](http://www.yvoschaap.com/wpthemegen/)
 * My challenge is to make the column width conform to the iframe or set the width
   to about 500px. Can’t find the code for that.
 * my work is here
    [http://windymeadows.org/updates.html](http://windymeadows.org/updates.html)
 * I created a separate post for my question but it relate to this issue.
