Increased the width of a fixed layout blogger template

I got bugged since the blogger template I chose for one of my blogs was fixed to allow it to be viewed in well in 640x480.

I dug into the HTML and did the following to increase the width...

1. Go to Layout > Edit HTML
2. Keep Expand Widget Templates deselected
   
3. Find the part which says #main-wrapper {
4. Change the part under this which say something like width: 410px; to width: 570px; (800 - 600 = 160 pixels... Assuming you want to fit it in 800x600 from 640x480)
5. Find the part which says #outer-wrapper {
6. Change the part under this which says something like width: 660px; to width: 820px;
   
7. Find the part which says #header-wrapper {
8. Change the part under this which says something like width: 660px; to width: 820px;
   
9. Find the part which says #header .description {
10. Change the part under this which says something like max-width:700px; to max-width:800px;
11. Do a Preview to check if you've got what you want
12. Save the code and you're done :)

Tada!

Add a Tag Cloud to your (Blogger) Blog

I was speaking to Sheetal when we discussed how it would be nice to have a tag cloud instead of the darned long listing of tags...

Hmm. I quickly Googled and found this:

Seems to work for me... :)

Why ANOTHER blog?!!*&%^%$%

This idea has been buzzing around in my head for a while.

Every time I get onto the internet and Google to save my skin and solve some problem, I make a mental note to contribute solutions of my own.

The net is what it is today since people share. Most people are lazy and a tad bit selfish as well. This blog is my little contribution to the 'community' out there who have helped me every time I have got stuck. I will note down little ways in which I have solved problems and done things here.

Not all solutions are unique but most at least will have a twist which will probably help somebody out there who is just ready to break something since all the solutions mentioned just don't seem to drop the last little piece in place.

Cheers! Here's to all of us

[Done]
