  Hi:

  My blog is at http://sexistremarks.wordpress.com/. I’m having difficulty creating page titles that are unjustified. I’ve read the following forum post:
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-stop-auto-justification?replies=2#post-60870

  It would appear from that post that I have no options for unjustifying page titles in the theme I’ve chosen. But if so, here’s my question. One of my longer page titles looks just fine and does not have justification:

  http://sexistremarks.wordpress.com/answering-the-tough-questions-about-responding-to-sexist-remarks/

  But the following two longer titles are justified:

  http://sexistremarks.wordpress.com/learning-to-effectively-respond-to-sexist-remarks-getting-started/

  http://sexistremarks.wordpress.com/strategies-suggested-by-site-users/

  Why the difference? I figure I have done something to the first title that I didn’t do to the latter two, and I haven’t been able to figure out what that something is.

  You’ve done nothing. The only difference is in your last link, which (as I said in your other thread) is not a single static page but your POSTS PAGE. In the static pages you are looking at their (static) title. In your posts page, you’re looking at a LIST OF POST TITLES, which are live links (click one and see what happens).

  Now all titles in Kubrick get their first line justified when the text exceeds it – either because it’s really too long or because you zoom in in your browser. (And there seems to be a difference from browser to browser: when you zoom in with Safari, the text gets larger but the column width doesn’t, and you get awkward results; in Firefox, both text and column width change. With IE I don’t know what happens, and I don’t want to know…)

  This justifying is not nice, anyway, so since you’re using long titles I would simply suggest you switch to another theme.

  Ok thanks panaghiotisadam, I appreciate it. It’s a real weakness with some of these themes–justification just looks terrible, and I can’t fathom why a designer would force us to use it.
