Long before starting this blog ‘How To Tech Guru’, I used to blog using blogger during my initial years of blogging. As of this writing, I’m still using blogger to showcase my photography work and write about my camera settings etc. for each of the shots that I have captured. I have made videos on YouTube and have embedded these videos, but these videos when embedded used to appear out of the frame.
One is to change the YouTube dimensions while embedding the video to your blog post and the other is to change the dimension of the post. First is the ideal option, there are other issues. Say, you want to place an ad which is of dimension 300*250 but your sidebar’s width is 240. It’s not that you cannot place your ad but this ad will appear out of the frame. If the sidebar were to be of dimension
300 or 320 then it would have been ideal to place the add. You cannot
always go behind searching for a template which has the right dimension and finally you might get the right dimension but half heartily agree for a template.

So, of you are using Blogger then there is an option where you can adjust, modify the way you want to. Adjust width in Blogger
option can help you in fixing this issue. Just choose right template
for you blog, then just follow the following steps to adjust width in Blogger template that you have selected.

- Go to blogger dashboard and select the blog for which you need to adjust the width the way you want.
- Select the ‘Template’ option and under ‘Live on Blog’ click on ‘Customize’. This will take you to ‘Blogger Template Designer’.
- Here, click on adjust widths as shown in the image below. Note that there are two sliders – to adjust width of entire blog and the other to adjust width of Right sidebar. There can be more sliders depending on the Layout of you blog.
- There is a live preview just below these adjustment settings. As you move the slider, it will be visible to you. This is the option that I like the most.
- Remember to adjust the Entire blog slider first and then the right sidebar. Also, do not increase the slider to the max and make you website appear like Full Screen mode.
- Once you are done adjusting, click on ‘Apply to Blog’ which is to the top right corner.

As of this writing we cannot modify or adjust width in WordPress.com and adjust width in Blogger
is a new addition which was not available earlier. Note that you can
always go back to original settings by clicking on ‘reset widths to
template defaults’.
