This is why newspapers are written in columns and even books are not that wide. Can you make the template narrower or go back to the smart stretch template? <br /><br />Tyger was beautiful. It was interesting how she combined French and English but the music was definitely French.<br /><br />I love that you used to play with poetry at university. It sounds like a most whimsical game and I can see why you’d want to recreate this on your blog. I’ll go find my Frost. Lazy suggestion: do the book trick and then google the poem online so you only need to copy and paste.<br />Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-47649127340418038292012-11-28T14:04:30.211+00:002012-11-28T14:04:30.211+00:00Facinating!
