Page Content Tweaks

One of the joys of having a darker network is having to tweak everything to fit properly so white-space isn't seen.

I recently finished a new page for my job board and had a lot of extra space in the page content area outside of my Iframe that I needed to fill and also fix the default margin / padding.

If you need to, add this to your new page custom box under Manage title and meta tags manually (advanced):

...end result...

This was a fix for me, but you could use it to change your page content to an image as well.

Thanks! You really wouldn't believe the ridiculousness of all that's happened. But, good news is, I am in new office - - big mess yet. =)

Which page are ya trying to do?

My Chop Shop store. But I think it's because of the way my Amazon store is configured.

Yeah, I just checked it. Looks like your store. Here's some changes I ended up making to my Amazon store if it helps (main body in Amazon):

body {float:left;background:transparent;margin:0px;padding:0px;min-width:560px;}

/* MAIN PAGE AREA */
#main {
width:554px;float:left;margin:0px;padding:0px;
}

/* SIDEBAR */
#sidebar {
float:left;
width:185px;
overflow:hidden;
}

select.searchwidget {
width:168px;
margin-bottom:6px;
}

I had a hell of a time trying to get it to look right when hiding the 3rd column (tables & tweaking both Ning & Amazon). In the end, It was easier to just show it.

Where does this go? In the page CC box?

In your actual Amazon store.
