Changes to the Blog...

The Running in Cork blog started off way back in late 2006 and in that time, the overall format and appearance has hardly changed. I have kept the same original template even though other options became available.

A few years back, the blog might have appreared like this on the older computer screens...a bit of a grey border on both sides but not too much.

Which is fine except some of the newer screens are now wider and the blog appears like this...


As you can see, there is a lot of wasted space on both sides of the screen. The text looks squashed, I am limited in the width of pictures I can use and some video clips are too wide to fit properly.

So I will be changing the template for the blog and it will then appear wider. However, once I change, I don't have the option of going back to the original if people don't like it.

I will probably change it over the weekend and we'll see how it goes.

Regardless of format the content is what is important and if it stays the same in content then it will still be great. The first thing I check each day is my email swiftly followed by the blog - it's great stuff and we do really appreciate all the work you put in John. Well done and good luck with the makeover!;)
