  1. Hi Andy,
    How's things? I'm probably being a bit of a busybody! but, have you thought about widening your blog? that way you could probably get most if not all of your featured articles on the page without losing much verticle space and your readers wouldn't need to leave your site to read the whole piece you could just source the link at the end.

    heres how you do it:

    go to layout>edit html

    scrolldown the html page till you come to

    'outer wrapper' change that to 1100

    next change 'main wrapper' to 800

    next change 'side wrapper' to 300

    save changes. thats it!!

    hope that useful
