Tumblr help with html?

Favorite Answer

If you would like to reduce the distance between the two columns on your Tumblr blog, you may be able to do so by editing your blog's CSS code.

One possibility of what you could edit would be the CSS code for the width of the two divs that actually create the columns on your blog.

For example, if you have some CSS code like this:

#columnOne{
height: 500px;
width: 400px;
}

#columnTwo{
height: 500px;
width: 400px;
}

You could then edit the "width" property of the CSS rules for the two columns. (The code will probably look different and more complicated than what is above, but you should still be able to edit it and achieve the effect you desire.)

If you have Google's Chrome browser, you could use the Element Inspector, in order to figure out which divs or spans are used to style the two columns on your blog's layout, and you could even try using new values for the different CSS rules, in order to see what they look like, right from Google's Element Inspector, before actually changing them in Tumblr's settings.

Once you've found out what divs or spans are used to style the columns and have played with the CSS rules' properties and values, you can then go into your Tumblr blog's CSS settings and change the corresponding code accordingly, and then save it to make your blog look the way you want.

You can access Google Chrome's Element Inspector tool by right-clicking over the area (or element) that you would like to inspect, and then choosing "Inspect Element" from the menu that appears.

From there, you should be able to view the HTML (and some CSS) code for the website's element that you are inspecting, and can even make edits to it (that won't be saved, but will show you what they will look like right on the page), to see if you like the changes before changing them in your Tumblr blog's settings.
