It is okay to copy CSS code from here and use or modify as you choose. If you do, please leave a comment that you are doing so. I appreciate it and thanks!

Applied 11 CSS changes to enhance the appearance of this theme. At least the way I want it to look. –jim
Hi Jim,
The text in the main body of my blog is cutted at the right side. Please, take a look:
cienciaemsociedade.wordpress.com
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you for your help,
Roberto
Hello Roberto,
That is not what I see. Try a different browser. Your blog displays properly in Google Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer v9.0., and Firefox on my computers. What browser are you using? –jim
BTW, I like the look of your blog with the Newsy Theme. Great work!
I am not very familiar in working with CSS customization. Do you mind to explain me what exactly must I change in order to fit the text correct in the blog main body?
Thank you again.
Roberto
Please see my reply above. Your blog is perfect. Can you view your blog with another browser or computer [using a different browser]? –jim
Thank you for your quick reply. However, I still see the text cruched. I really don’t know what’s going on. I tried with Firefox, Google Chrome and IE.
So, you have the same with each of the browsers. If so, I do not think clearing cache will matter. If others are seeing what you are, I think they will tell you. Try changing your column settings and then revert back to your 2-column format. –jim
Roberto,
Also try “CTRL” 0. This resets text size. –jim
I asked other people if they are seeing the text cruched at the right side, and they say yes.
How do I change the column settings?
2 column? Are you seeing a 2 column format?
I am also getting a blank page with the Firefox browser, with the following message:
Mikrotik HttpProxy
Error: 400 Bad Request
This is what I see:
To change column settings, go to the Newsy Theme Options Page:

I also have trouble with Foxfire, thus:
Jim
That’s right. The text of the post is “cutted” on the right side. I contacted people at wordpress.com, but I had no feedback after one week. Too bad. I think I will decline using newsy.
Thanks so much for your attention.
All the best,
Roberto
Okay, I’m trying to help. It takes a little time to get you all the information. So, I’m seeing what you want others to see?
You have been helpful, for sure. I hope not have been rude with you.
Yes, you see what other people see.
You said:
Then, that is a matter of column width. I misunderstood form your earlier comment. Check your maximum column width. Mail & comment do not lend themselves to technical support. Sorry…
Jim
I’m done…
Hi Jim,
I tried to deal with the CSS edition. I tried to change the column width, but I haven’t noticed any change.
I don’t want to bother you again. I am very sorry for taking so much of your time.
Take care,
Roberto
PS – I like biking too. I am from Brazil, and I do live in a very nice town to get riding by bicycle. Thank you, Jim.
I know your problem can be resolved. It may take time and patience. No problem on time. This medium is just not suited to help. I noted earlier you live in Brazil. Cycling is good. Glad you like it. You are welcome for my effort. The best!!! –jim
