Post Titles Flush Left?

  Right now my post titles are justified to stretch across the whole box (just like the post text). On longer titles it can look really strange. How can I make it go flush left using CSS? If anyone is willing to share the code, I’d be very grateful!

  How about a link to your wordpress.COM blog?

  You can link your user name to your blog by following the instructions here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-make-your-name-link-to-your-blog?replies=54

  I don’t see that you have the paid CSS upgrade. Without it, you cannot change the layout. (And to be perfectly honest, there are so many issues with Kubrick (the theme you have chosen) I wouldn’t even try to mess with it.) There is no official support for CSS and only a few people in the forums are well versed in it.

  I can tell you that the issue is the justification. In looking at the CSS code, the .post element is set to justify. That’s why you see it looking like that on a 2-line title. You could try

  .post h2 {
   text-align:left;
  {

  but I’m not sure if that would work. (For some reason, I can’t get Firebug to work on your site)

  Thanks for the feedback! I did purchase the CSS upgrade, but haven’t done anything yet. I’ll have to try your code and see if it works. I have some, very limited, experience with editing CSS like this. I did notice that Firebug doesn’t seem compatible with the newest version of Firefox. A shame. I hope they fix that soon. I have used it in the past to see code, and it’s very helpful. Maybe if the Kubrick theme turns out to be too tough to change, I can try a different one. Just need to find the time to really sit and play with it.

  Thanks again!

  Glad it worked!

  Firebug works off and on for me using FF 3.0.3. (I thought maybe it was something I was doing wrong.) Between it and the developer toolbar for FF, I can figure out a lot of stuff, even though I’m no CSS guru.
