Centre the blog / main-article layout

Theme discussion Baseline
#1

Hey there,

I am loving the Baseline theme. The one thing I would like to change though is to make blog posts read easier by pulling in the text in tighter and centreing it in the middle of the screen (more like a traditional blog post or online news article).

I feel this would mean changing something to centre the content and adding something to pad the content on each side.

My understanding of the code is low so I am unsure if this would be done within the main-article.liquid file or in the css… My investigations have found that the main content of blogs are defined on around line 100 of the main-article.liquid file, so adding or changing something there might be a work around…?

Note I have turned off settings that make the sidebar appear, I recognise that this could complicate things…

Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks for any help.

Hey there,
This can definitely be done, and is an awesome suggestion that would be worth submitting here as a feature request, this way we can have other merchants vote on this to be added as a native theme feature.

Now as it relates to achieving this on your store, this would require a few changes, that would be best monitored within our support desk. We’ll need to request access to your store to make a few modifications, so it would be best for us to continue this there :slight_smile: .

Don’t forget to submit this as a feature request, and we’ll look out for your ticket within the desk.

Have an awesome day!
