page layout to cover the full screen
-
HI ,
I have made a wordpress.com. blog for the school of my children .
In general the administration of the blog is very easy , even for newbies like me ;
Although the default appearance is what I need , the page does not fill all the width of the browser window , so the visitor must readjust the width of the page layout with ” CTL + mouse – wheel ” . I have made the test under different browsers ( Firefox , Windows IE ) , and under different operation systems ( Windows , Linux ) , and always the browsers must be re-adjusted from the visitors.
What adjustments do I have to make to ” force ” the browsers of my visitors to fill all the width of the browser window .thanks for your attention .
Dimitrios.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

HI ,
thanks for your replay ,I have made tests with different themes that wordpress.com provides , and always my visitors must make an manual adjustment ( CTL + mouse wheel ) to fill the whole width of theirs browser window .

You will not be able to achieve what you want WITHOUT an adjustable-width theme AND the CSS upgrade, and a good knowledge of CSS. Do you know how to edit CSS?
-
Are you talking about adjusting the width of the browser to the full screen width? If so that is very rude behavior and I will not visit a site that does that – it messes up my regular settings – your site looks fine to me as it is

Could we get a link to the blog you are talking about?
Flexible width themes will always expand to fill the entire width of the screen unless the theme designer specified a maximum width for the theme, which some do.
Flexible width themes:
Fusion
Coraline
Adrea
Garland
Fadtastic
Rounded

Girl in Green
Andreas09
Rubic
Shocking Blue Green

Hi ,
I just want my blog to fill the horizontal width of the browser window .
Not all visitors have the knowledge to use ” CTL + mouse wheel ” to adjust the horizontal width of theirs browsers , so the text seems little .
Here is the link of my blog : http://sgdalimou.wordpress.com/Thanks for your replay .

The text on the theme you have chosen is on the small side, but it has nothing to do with the width of the theme The text is set to a specific size in the CSS files. When you use ctrl + what you are doing is asking the browser to enlarge everything on the screen by X amount. I could make a theme 10 feet wide with text so small it would appear as just a smudge on the screen.
My suggestion is to find a theme with larger text such as twenty ten, Vigilance, Coraline, Picrow – any number of themes that have larger text than notepad.

Hi ,
At least , now a have a starting point , to get the results I want .
As I now understand , it has to do with the text size and not with the theme template of WordPress . So I have to find a WordPress theme that supports bigger text fonts .
Just to complete my post , does WordPress.com supports custom CSS ?Thanks for your replay .

Yes it does, it is a paid upgrade, but with it you could increase the font size on notepad easily.
