Thanks, good points. I'll try to be clearer. I'm running wordpress 3 and Atahualpa 3.4. I've made a static site using "Pages." It's not live yet, running on xampp.
I have a welcome page without much text in the center column. The box it's in takes up the whole page leaving a lot of blank space at the bottom. My second pages has quite a bit of text. Is there a way to tell a text box to resize itself, to conform to the text inside? Can this be done on a page-by-page basis? Thanks, Mark |
how did you define your text box?

Center column style: (I guess this is what I'm calling a text box)
****************************************** background-color: #dff0d5; -moz-border-radius: 30px; -khtml-border-radius: 30px; -webkit-border-radius: 30px; border-radius: 30px; ****************************************** also from "Posts and Pages" Body Box (this is more the outside, the whole box, I think) padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 80px; padding-right: 70px; padding-bottom: 60px; ********************************************** Here's the content of the Welcome page I'd like centered vertically: <center> <table width="400"> <tr> <td> <em><font size="2">"What a morning! A few puffy clouds. A pure blue sky. The lark was on the wing. The snail was on the thorn. And Kalisha Jackson was on her stoop, having a panic attack."</font></em> </td> </tr> </table></center> <em>The Word Gang</em> is the story of three kids in school who start using big words to be disruptive. <strong><a href=http://localhost/wordpress/on-writing/>How I Wrote . . .</a></strong> this could have been a book in itself, but I tried to be reasonable. <strong><a href=http://localhost/wordpress/about-mark/>About . . . </a></strong>a short bio. <strong><a href=http://localhost/wordpress/schedule/>Schedule . . . </a></strong>arrange a visit, in person or via Skype, to your classroom, book club, or bookstore. <strong><a href=http://localhost/wordpress/my-stories/> Stories . . . </a></strong>links to my short fiction published online. <strong><a href=http://localhost/vanillaforums-Garden-8832d74/index.php?p=/entry/ target="blank">Forum . . . </a></strong>post a comment, an*image, your own work.

Hope this helps clarify. Thanks, Mark |
And. On my laptop's small screen the content seems to fit the center column nicely. I also have a big monitor and here Welcome page has a lot of empty space at the bottom. I think I'm looking for a command to tell the center column to re-size itself around whatever text is present. m

Oh, and I'm using a fluid-width site, at 96%.
