In reply to: 2016 Blog text spacingI guess we can consider this closed. I figured it out myself by using Chrome and its right-click “Inspect” feature. It’s a pretty awesome tool because it lets you see exactly how the code affects any highlighted portion of a page. Thanks again for all the help, especially stephencottontail!

In reply to: 2016 Blog text spacing1920 x 1080, but I know people use various size screens. That’s why I always vary size and saw it acting different. I already set the left and right margins to zero, which makes it display perfectly on smaller windows, so it’s almost there. I would however like to retain that full-width layout regardless of window size. I don’t know why but adding
.site-inner { max-width: 100%; }had no effect, so maybe it’s being overruled by something elsewhere.
Good to know about “em” and why I should use that instead of magic pixel values.
Thanks again for the lessons!

In reply to: 2016 Blog text spacingWhen the window is smallish it now maximizes window usage, which is great, however it still wastes a great deal of screen space when >910 px (the text shifting to a narrow mid-window column). I see where the 56.875em value comes from yet changing it has no effect. I’d like the archive pages to retain full-width at all times independent of window width, just like the current blog screen.
Thanks again!

In reply to: 2016 Blog text spacingThat worked great, thank you! I’m still working on #2, and haven’t found what to set to move both the header and text toward the left margin. Thanks again.

In reply to: Twenty Sixteen – tiered blog sidebar, or multiple blogs?I thought of another approach, or at least another way of asking how to accomplish this: Can I take, say, all the blog entries from a given year and give them their own static page, something to be read through but not comment on or edit?

In reply to: Twenty sixteen Blog title to body spacingI found what appears to be the key, though I’m wary about it being sprinkled around elsewhere as you noted:
.entry-title { margin-bottom: 0.25em; }Issue solved, for now at least!

In reply to: Migrating only changes from local to live site?Okay, thank you very much, again! I’ve also bookmarked the VersionPress, that looks very promising, especially for me!

In reply to: Twenty sixteen Blog title to body spacingThat doesn’t work. I’m just trying to reduce the spacing between the blog date and the first line of text. Setting the above numbers lower, or even to zero, has no effect; there must be something overriding it.

In reply to: Migrating only changes from local to live site?I’m still curious how to achieve this. For example, say I adjust the font size of just one header on one page. Is it as simple as uploading the style.css file via FTP instead of updating the entire site.
Hmm, maybe I’m answering my own question… :/

In reply to: 2016 template, too much space around headerThank you very much! The first time I opend to the hood on the style.css file, I though, “My god, it’s full of stars.” I now see that virtually everything is changeable, it’s just a matter of knowing what to touch. Thanks again, issue closed!

In reply to: 2016 template, too much space around headerThank you for the reply, I tried looking but there are so many files I can’t find it. Where is the code that you listed. I assume it’s in something to do with the header, but is it css or php?
Thanks again.

In reply to: Open current blog by default, how?Strange, I can add the Annual Archive widget to the side bar on any other page and it appears as expected, but it can’t be added to the Blog page. What would be blocking it? Oh and before you ask, I’m working on this locally so the online site won’t show this right now.

In reply to: Open current blog by default, how?Okay, that’s very logical and makes a lot of sense… holds head in shame. I tried your suggestion and it works, except now the archive side bar refuses to appear. It’s like I have it disabled somewhere but can’t find it. It’s as if changing it to a Blog page changed something else as well. So close!

In reply to: Adjusting spacing between screen elementsWorked great! Thank you very much everyone!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adjusting spacing between screen elementsI’m stuck at work so can’t confirm, but you’re probably right – I’m going from memory. I’ll try it out tonight and let you guys know.
This site’s awesome!
