 * Why doesn’t the images on the main site go up to my max-width=”1280px”?

   If you click on the title of the project, the size will increase to it’s oringnal
   size..
 * Anyone?

 * due to padding etc applied for instance to the `.inner` container;
 * for example, you are using `.work` as CSS class in the body tag and the post 
   div;
 * possibly change the one style to:
 *     ```
       /* post */
       .work {
       	margin-top: 30px;
       	margin-bottom: 80px;
       }
       .work .work {
       	max-width: 1280px;
       }
       ```

 * That actually work well! But I think I might have to add another max-width: 1280px;
   somewhere, because as you can see now, the single-post view is going 100% without
   any limit.

 * try to add:
 * `.single .work { max-width: 1280px; }`
 * try working with a browser isnpection tool to investigate the formatting of the
   image.
