What is it that...
...makes my blog stretch to the sides, and this cat's blog to be contained in a box?
It's like, weird science even.

Autostretch—I've been too lazy to configure it (kind of a pain with my banner). I might do it this summer, though. Did you do it in CSS, kyer?

It's your CSS (stylesheet).
That cat has his blog hard-coded to be 954 pixels wide:
#container {
line-height: 120%;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
text-align: left;
padding: 0px;
width: 954px;
background-color: #a0968c;
border: 0px solid #000000;
}
Where yours is left to fend for itself:
#content {
z-index:2;
position:absolute;
right:208px;
left:212px;
background:#FFFFFF;
margin-bottom:20px;
border:2px solid #555;
overflow: hidden;
}

I noticed you referred to Patrick's container section, but my content section. I originally thought the container was what uh... contained the whole blog content.
I don't want seem as if I am ripping off his stylesheet, but I've always wanted to see what my blog would look like if it was floating like his. Is it merely a matter of tweaking the content/container sections, or is there more to it? Whenever I simply paste one or the other, it all goes to pot.
My container/content code is below:
#container {
margin-right:150px;
margin-left:150px;
background: #E1ECF8;
}
#content {
z-index:2;
position:absolute;
right:208px;
left:212px;
background:#FFFFFF;
margin-bottom:20px;
border:2px solid #555;
overflow: hidden;
}
P.S. Off topic while I'm here, can somebody please direct me to a link/tutorial for implementing the live preview and comments that simply expand, rather than open in a new window? I was having some trouble with the "Thingys and Doodads" instructions --- I also didn't know whether to use PHP or HTML.
That's it! No more questions! ::shakes Question Jar empty::
