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.
Welcome to the Running in Cork blog, home of the Cork running community. This is the largest website in Cork & Munster for news on road races and general running news. Included are a current race calendar, race previews, photos, results as well as some local, national and international news items.

John, no matter what the format, thank you for the blog, such a great help and resource. Keep up the great work

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!;)
Go for it John. Great site and I'm sure the new version will be just as good. Thanks for your effort.
Can only echo what others said above, the information you post is invaluable to lots of people... One stop shop for running news in cork ! Changes to format will only enhance it for sure
Same here John. Have followed your blog daily since I found it a few years ago. It's been superb. Especially as I was heading off to all of the races for the first time. Hope the change goes ok for you and look forward to seeing new format. Thanks for all the work you put in.
