Atahualpa 3.4.4 Configuration Part 5

Another Atahualpa 3.4.4 LayOut Customizing

OK, here we back again to do some configuration change in Atahualpa 3.4.4 WordPress Theme Blog. The configuration is still about  lay out of this blogging update blog customizing but there is the difference this time. I give some reasoning why i do this change this time. Yeah — i share the reasoning why i do the lay out customizing and after that, I share how i make the change. I hope this blog readers have more understanding about it because already knew the reasoning behind it.

Limit The Flow of Layout Atahualpa

As you should already read in Atahualpa 3.4.4 configuration post series article that I make some customizing in This Blogging Update Blog. I choose Fluid (dynamic) type so this blog will dynamically follow width of readers web browsers (related to PC/Laptop screen resolution). I think this choice already perfect back then but i find some imperfect things about it. It make my blog layout seems have bad look when readers minimize their web browser . You can see the result in below picture:

You can see that the content part seem broken (in red box) and seems un-readebeable. And when i found it, i directly assumed that this situation also happen if readers had pc/laptop screen with low resolution. Therefore, i check it in my laptop by try low screen resolution and i found that the content part too tiny for 800×600 screen resolution. It is almost hard to read the content but yeah – it is still readable.

And i decide to make some limitation so layout do not follow each web browser (screen) width (both zoom in or zoom out). I choose to put 800 as below limit and 1100 as upper limit. I use 800 as below limit because i think it is the last width that the content still readable. I use 1100 as upper limit because my experience tell that upper that 1100 give strange looks (too wide) sense for the blog.

And here I share my way how to put the limitation:

Limit Width of Atahualpa Blog LayOut

• Login to “Site Admin” area

• Click “Appearance”

• Click “Atahualpa Theme Option”

• Click “Style & configure LAYOUT”

• Fill “Layout MIN width” with 800

• Fill “Layout Maz width” with 1100

• Click “Save Changes” button to apply the setting.

Ok, the layout already limited between 800 – 1100 px succesfully. I hope it will make this blog readers have more comfortoble reading experience from now on.

Conclusions

Limiting the layout blog’s width size is surely needed for fluid (dynamic) layout style these days. It is because each web browser can re-size easily and also there are many varian of PC/Laptop screen width and resolution. Both of them can make the blog layout looks so bad if we do not limit it and let it freely follow the width size. I already give an example how bad the look can be in this article. It is surely will give bad reading experience for blog readers.Therefore, i limit the layout this blog width between 800 – 1100 so readers can have better reading experience. I share how i do it in here so it can help who needed it.
