Important Question For All Of You Who Read Our Blog.

Real Estate Agent with The Gasset Group & Get It Done For Me Virtual Services 13253167-SA00
I got a comment on my post last night from Virginia Hepp. When Virginia reads my blog she has to scroll sideways in order to read my blog. She does not get the whole post in one screen.

I was told once that my Vflyer widget is too wide for my blog so last night I deleted the widget and I will install a more narrow one to fit better on the blog. But Virginia still could not read the post all in one screen without scrolling sideways even after I deleted my Vflyer widget.

I am trying to help her and I need to know from all of you if this is happening to anyone else reading my blog.
Please put in the comments here if this has also happened to you. I am working on fixing this problem.

I then noticed when I use this Nvu platform it is set up for 1400 pixels across and then I checked Active Rain's posting platform and it is only 664 pixels wide. But I would think that the html would correct itself to fit into whatever area you place it within. I just moved the Nvu pixels down to 660 across. So now I am going to post this width in my active rain blog and see if it fixes the problem that Virginia is having.

Nope, changing the pixels changes the entire blog all the way down and all the blog gets squished up. So that is not the solution.

Missy Caulk says she uses Firefox like I do and she can see the whole screen but in Internet Explorer she can not see the whole blog. Active Rain works best with Firefox. Please download Firefox and see it that helps you to view the blog better. It is FREE and it will give you a much better internet experience. Our MLS does not support Firefox and either does the log in features of Point 2 websites. But you can use both. I use IE for my point 2 and for MLS and then I use Firefox for everything else. You should not have a problem viewing our blog in Firefox.

Virginia says that mine and couple of other blogs are the only ones she is having this issue with. It has been happening for about a month. That is about the same time I started using Nvu to do my html. So this might be the correlation. But the strange thing is no one has told me about this issue.

If anyone knows exactly what is causing this please let us know in your comments so we can address this and fix it right away. Thanks a bunch and make sure you make it a great weekend.

Whatever is causing it, it happens with Jeff Belonger's blog posts as well...you might check and see if you both have any of the same widgets...

Yep.  I have to scroll sideways to read your blog.  It's not a big deal but would be easier the other way.  Good luck.   I don't use firefox and I think my blogs are the normal size.

I use IE and I usually have to scroll even to get all of your blog - not to mention your picture and other sidebar info. However, when I shut my own favorites menu on the left, then I get your entore screen without scrolling.

I'm not sure Katerina, I'm back using explorer, and it does make me scroll.  I noticed that your profile page is the same way.  I think it may be something in your profile or the settings.  Let me research it further.  :-)

Katerina, I was not in IE7 like I thought.  Sometimes, I'm not sure of my own whereabouts ;)
I do have to scroll for your sidebar in IE.  My widescreen gives me all of your blog and comments, but no sidebar.  Firefox looks great, though.  Thanks for the link, I'm loving it!  I know you will blog the solution when you find it.  Glad to see Brad's on the case!

Katerina - I haven't had a problem viewing any of your blogs, but then I always use Firefox to see them. I only use IE when the program, such as our MLS, won't operate in Firefox.

If you go to your preferences page you can adjust your widgets HTML to a 195 width and it should allign pretty well.  I to had my vflyer on my blog then after the reduction it was to small so I moved it to my profile page near the bottom.

In prior blogs I had to scroll over to the right to see the entire blog, today it all fits on my screen.

Katerina - I know what you are refering to because I have seen that problem with other blogs but I have not had any problems reading your blogs from my large desktop screen or my smaller notebook screen.  Thanks and have a wonderful weekend.

Looks like you and Brad fixed it. . .I used to have the scrolling right and left problem, but it look perfect today. Maybe one of you could blog about the solution, there are still some blogs on AR that don't fit on the screen.

I will let Katerina choose to do a post if she likes, that's a great idea Lori.  Katerina, let me know if you want to run with it or if you need me too.  I believe you should have the honors and first right of refusal.. :-)  Have a great weekend!
