When I am editing my blog posts, in the editing section, it shows everything on how I like it, but when I go to the site, everything is skinnier and seems cut off and it doesnt look like what it should be. (also the text is cut off on it)

WP.com: Yes
Correct account: Yes

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @branfrise, your current theme is quite a bit older: it has a fairly narrow page, and it doesn’t support wider format blocks.

You’d be welcome to try out a newer theme if you’d like, and switch back if you don’t like it. The newer block themes will give you quite a bit of flexibility on the page.

Or, if you’ll be keeping Argent, it does have its own built-in blog page that looks like this:
https://argentdemo.wordpress.com/blog/

Let us know if you need help setting that up.

is there a way where I can keep a template similar to that but edit it so the blog blocks are wider, or are there other templates which are similar to that?

Hmm, well, the newer themes are becoming increasingly customizable. It depends on what you love about Argent, though.

If it’s the dark bar, cover pictures, and a dark footer area, perhaps https://rockfielddemo.wordpress.com/ with a different font pairing would work for you?

And you can arrange a portfolio gallery as you’d like.

Another option: if you upgrade your site to Premium, you’ll get CSS support. And that can be used to widen the pages a bit. Layout changes are outside the scope of support we can offer, as they can get complex with different screen sizes, but something like this may work:
```
@media screen and (min-width: 768px) { 
  .single-jetpack-portfolio .entry-header, .page-header, .single-jetpack-portfolio .entry-content, .page-content, .page .entry-meta, .single-jetpack-portfolio .entry-meta, .comments-area, .post-navigation, .posts-navigation {
      width: 960px;
      max-width: 100%;
  }
}
```
I do think you’d get the most flexibility and forward compatibility from switching to a newer theme, though.

Oops, slight typo in that CSS. I’ve fixed it now. Just don’t use the version you were emailed :)
