Bit OT but now that I'm here I might as well ask you. On your blog, how do you get you photo's to fit the very narrow post width?
Mine are automatically cropped, and I would love to find out if you can widen your post body width, but don't thing you can. So I gues there is a limited pixel width for pictures.

I wish I had some super-techy answer, but on my blog template I just select the size (sm, md, lg) and the image is sized for me. Then I select location, left, right...center will wrap text...
I hope that helps (but probably not...)

Righto. I'm going to be mobile blogging which doesn't give you that option. I'll have to keep looking. The help menu is pretty bad on blogger. Cheers though

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
