I have recently started working in a companythat uses CMS Made Simple 1.6.5 "Poya" for our website and this is my first time using it. I've used many other system including basic HTML coding for website design and administration before but This is my first time with CMS..

Anyways I can not find anywhere how to fix a problem in the website where all the main contet is being wrapped and cut off into very short lines of maybe 20 charracters before it starts the next line making a short sentence be displayed in 3 lines.. Could anyone help me figure this out? I have been looking in the layout and design

Anyways i'm reading all i can about CMS to learn as quickly as possible since i've now become the only adminsitrator of the website and they want me to be their webmaster for time to come.. Any helpguides you guys can recomend would be greatful too. I'm currently reading everything attached to this forum and the wiki.

could anyone help me solve the problem with the text wrapping to a next line after 20 charracters? where should i Look?

You have one stylesheet with this in it:

Code: Select all

.content-left		 { width: 185px; float: left; padding-right: 15px; }
.content-right		{ width: 385px; float: left; padding-right: 50px; margin-top: 20px;}
So left column is 185px wide and right column is 385px

You might want to play with those widths. If you make one of them too wide, without reducing the other, they will both go under the menu, so mind that..

I recommend you to install the webdeveloper toolbar plugin for Firefox. You can edit the css while looking at the page. You'll see the results of your change immediately.  8)
