You probably know the "WordPress Default" Theme, also known as "Kubrick". This theme is generally based on our "environment" theme, although it was modified so that it is not immediately noticeable. Many consider "Kubrick" to be outdated, because you've seen it too often. In principle, this may be true, if it sends into the race completely unedited. But we have decided because of the strengths of the themes for the use, set up the theme again and now use it for this blog.

The sidebar, so the side bar with links, keywords and categories, for many users a familiar sight, and often it comes with additional plug-ins jazzed, we use, for example, including the Flickr Badge widget for presenting your own photos at Flickr. "Kubrick" shows in their original state but not in all situations, a sidebar. Many feel this is a problem. How to change the stands here . Initially, we had also changed for all sorts of views, but at least a single view of products 0hne sidebar holds untapped potential. One could in fact increase over a few small changes in the style sheet (style.css) is simply the display area of the single article view and use as the space of the missing sidebar useful.

We are looking for the following entry in the style.css

.widecolumn { padding: 10px 0 20px 0; margin: 5px 0 0 150px; width: 450px; }

and change it as follows:

.widecolumn { padding: 10px 0 20px 0; margin: 5px 0 0 70px; width: 600px; }

By the margin value of 150px to 70px was lowered, moves the left edge of the article to the left, there is the free boundary in the original unused now used for the display of the contribution. The Width -value was now from 450px to 600px increased, thus the item will appear wider and therefore uses the space otherwise occupied sidebar. Especially for long articles may be advantageous because the user is scrolling not so often in order to reach the end of the article.

A disadvantage of this method is that the user has to scroll up again to return to the home page and therefore the sidebar again at our disposal. The drawback, we have a box fixed on the end product, in the - visually aware of other display raised - find the main navigation links. This box is also used for other purposes, but more in a later article.
