  What template can I use that will work in a window less than 800 pixels wide?

  Here is the problem I am having:

  http://poshweddingflowers.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=67

  I have tried every template that looks like it should be narrow enough, but they all have lots of whitespace on each side that break my site menu and obscures the scrollbar

  Any pointers you can give would be greatly appreciated!

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

  Forgot to mention, it would be nice if the template were 2 column (main post column and widgets/archive/etc)

  New to all this – not sure if it exists or not. I have a blog setup at blogger this way, but want to move to wordpress.

  Yes, it’s on wordpress.org – I just have it loading into an iframe on my website.

  Here it is without the iframe

  http://poshflowers.wordpress.com/

  Posted the link on my website to illustrate the problem.

  Unless I am still confused…

  The blog linked to your username http://poshflowers.wordpress.com/ is a free blog from and being free hosted by WordPress.com. If you need support for that blog then we can provide it on this forum.

  Here is the link to the Themes Showcase. There are over 150 themes there and there is a filter feature in the search box you can use to locate a 2 column theme that you prefer. Do note this though as WordPress.com is a multiuser blogging platform we bloggers cannot edit themes or templates. All blogs wearing the same theme are using the same template and only Staff can access those files and edit as every edit they make affects all blogs wearing the same theme.

  So are there any theses narrower than 800 pixels? (can’t search by specifics)

  I’ve searched and searched and searched…

  For example, Nishita says that in “blog” mode it’s 769 pixels:

  Quick Specs (all measurements in pixels):

  The main column width is 1024 for the Photoblog layout, and 768 for the Blog layout.

  But then when I try to put it in my 800 pixel wide window (it should fit, if the blog is only 768px wide, right?) it doesn’t fit:

  http://poshweddingflowers.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=67

  All of my other content is 795px wide and everything fits fine. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

  You want to look at old themes such as Kubrick, K2 Lite, MistyLook, Neat, Sapphire, Thirteen, Treba, Twenty-eight thirteen, sunburn, solipsus, simpla, regulus, pool, ocean mist, light, iceburgg, Fleur de Lys, connections, contempt, blix, almost spring.

  Those should get you started. There are a few more, but the above I think are all under 800px in container/wrapper width.
