Layout Solutions

Update#2: There is a way to fix the layout problem without using any special code. It is now just a setting in Blogger: Read all about it.

Update: We've got a solution that provides users an easy way to disable the markup that is causing them some layout glitches with their blog. It will allow those who have custom templates and certain older templates to fix their blog up right proper. We're building and testing the solution now and we'll let you know when it is ready.

As mentioned on our status blog, recent updates to Blogger are causing annoying layout problems for some of our users. We are working on the bigger solution for this but in the meantime we've got a quick workaround for what appears to be one of the biggest culprits--the big space at the top of your blog, most notably blogs using the Bluebird template. This workaround requires that you modify your template. Here's how to do it:

Just below the line that says <style> or <style type="text/css"> try adding this:

#main #menu {
position: absolute;
right: 21px;
}

Then save and republish. This should help with the big space issue. Some modified templates might not respond to this. We'll continue to work on this but let us know (bloggerbuzz@gmail.com) if this doesn't work for you. Remember to copy and save your template in a text editor before you make any changes and for more information about editing templates visit our Help site.
