Title:
?style=light - add white space to sides of text

Area:
styles

Summary:
put in white space (inch and a half maybe?) on both sides of the text, so the text column is only about 8-9 inches wide

Description:
(Per recommendation, copying my comment to dw-news 2010-09-08):

(quote) Favorite New Things - #2, this is the part that I adore -- adding a one-touch ?style=mine or ?style=light link(end quote)

Absolutely. Due to mild vision issues, I use this on most posts not taken directly from my "flist" page.

One question/suggestion for the formatting on the ?style=light: would it be possible to put in white space (inch and a half maybe?) on both sides of the text, so the text column is only about 8-9 inches wide? (Again due to those same mild vision issues, it is difficult to track lines clear across the width of the screen.)

Thank you so much for a great site!

Yes, after working with this a little more, getting the comments also would be great (header is fine as is).

And for matgb's suggestion about max-width, two questions:
Do I want a space after the colon?
Would I replace both lines that say "margin" with one, and leave the
!important;
at the end of it?

(Hm, maybe for comments just replace the word "entry" with "comments"?)

I've never done any coding, so your copy/paste is really appreciated.

I'll be AFK until Monday or Tuesday.

A million thanks!

A space isn't needed, just makes reading it easier.

Replace both margin lines with the max-width line, the important shouldn't be needed but won't hurt.

And yes, I think .comment would work (it depends on how the code is resolved, everything is given a name by the developer, as I don't use your style, and you haven't any public entries with comments, I can't be sure, but the default name is .comment (no 's').
