I think it might help to increase the width of the window. Also the text size in the comment section which is miniscule. It just seems to me there is a lot of empty space at the bottom of the display page and so if the window were bigger that would be better. Of course, I don't know how to fix anything but I have great faith in computer people, who are a special breed. So I assume they can just do whatever I think needs doing without considering that often you have to give up one thing to gain another.

Sorry, I didn’t read your question properly. There isn’t a button to increase the post area, but you can increase the text size. In your web browser on the View menu, select text Size and adjust it there. I had been wondering about the layout of the entry pages (the ones with the comments on) and may move the categories section over to the left, that would allow the width of the post area to be increased. I’m also wondering about increasing the default text size of the comments, what do you think? Regards, Ian Hi jmb,

I actually meant your ie Ian's blog in my query about window size. I have pretty lousy sight due to developing cataracts so I was just asking if somehow one could see your posts in a larger window. I'll be getting round to a little html soon, just another language right? I've learned French, German, Italian in my day amd I still take Italian classes.

HTML isn't as bad as it first seems. If you right click in your web browser window you should be able to select View Source or View Page Source, you should get a new window open with the html for the page in it. Generally speaking each paragraph will start with the < p > code and finish with < /p >. The bulleted list starts with < ul > for unordered list and finishes with < /ul > and each item in a list starts with < li > and finishes with < /li > . I think in your Blogger software you can select to see the code, so you can see how your page is set out. I'm not sure about expanding the area of the post in your blog, I would have thought that the area would automatically expand and add scrollbars if necessary. Ian No problem.

I do know how to do this, that is copy and paste but somehow I worried about html which is a total mystery to me. I should have realized that Blogger would have taken care of everything. Sarabeth recommended putting it in a word processing program first then editing it, followed by copy and paste again to the blog. This enabled me to get rid of the scorethrough which was in the meme that I didn't see how to get rid of in Blogger. So it is now in a draft post waiting for me to add a few words and post later. By the way, is there any way to expand the area of the post in your blog with some button that I haven't noticed? Regards jmb Thanks for helping the old lady out!
