      open up index.php and replace this line:

      < ?php the_content(); ?>

      with:

      < ?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    1. open up layout1.php and add this line:

    after this:

    1

    <div class="post_image">

    2. Add this to your stylesheet:

    #lay1 .block_comm{display:none;}

    Thanks for a great theme!

    Is there any way to get more posts, say 12, on the first page than the ten from start?

    Any chance to get three in a row instead of the original two?

      What? It must be possible with some tweaking in the code as you solved all other questions and alternatives…

      add this to your stylesheet:

      #lay1 .post {width: 174px!important;height: 300px!important;}
      #lay1 .imgwrap {width: 174px!important;;height: 100px!important;}
      #lay1 .imgwrap img {border: none;width: 174px;height: auto;}

      and then open up scylla.js from the “js” folder and replace this line:

      jQuery(‘#lay1 .post:odd, #related ul li:last’).css({‘marginRight’:’0px’});

      with this:

      jQuery(‘#lay1 .post:eq(2), #lay1 .post:eq(5), #lay1 .post:eq(8), #lay1 .post:eq(11), #related ul li:last’).css({‘marginRight’:’0px’});

      Awesome, thanks!!

      Is there something like that to get fewer posts on the first page.. looks odd to have one on the last line.

      Go to Settings> Reading and select the number of posts per page.

    How can I change the font size for posts on my website?

      from you style.css find this line:

      body{background:#f4f4f4; margin:0; padding:0; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#424242;}

      and replace the font-size value from 12 to whatever you want.

    Is there any way to increase the width of the third column only (the one running down the right hand side. It’s currently too small for 300×250 MPUs as they hand off the side…

      add this to your stylesheet:

      .wrapper{width:1000px!important;}
      #sidebar{width:33%!important;}
