Newsletter width

I’m very happy with the newsletter capabilities in Micro.blog. Thank you for adding the option for daily frequency.

I would be even happier if we could control the width of the newsletter. I’ve seen from searching this forum that this has been a problem in the past — has it been solved? I subscribe to many newsletters and the Micro.blog newsletters seem to be the only one with this problem. How do other newsletters solve this problem? Can this solution be implemented in MB?

And I would be even happier still if my newsletter looked just like the Alpine template I’m currently using for my blog. (Though I must disclose that I am a habitual template-switcher, and with news from MTT that the Tiny Theme V2 and V3 are on their way, I may just switch again.)

What kind of width control would you like? Is the problem that it’s sometimes too wide and not fitting on small screens? If so, that should be something that a little CSS could fix.

If you have a screenshot of the problem, post it in this thread. Thanks!

Here you are. The images look fine, but the text posts are too wide. For your convenience, I put arrows next to the text posts.

I do plan to look at the Sumo theme from @Mtt when that’s available — perhaps that will solve the problem? For now, I’m using the Alpine theme. I switch occasionally between Alpine and Tiny.

Any word on this?

The Micro.blog newsletters now appear full width of the window with no separation between individual items, which does not look great.

I’d like to have the newsletter body appear as, say, 50% of the window width on a desktop monitor or tablet, and also include a little bit of space and a horizontal rule between items.

A design like the Sumo or Alpine blog, but in the newsletter, would be fine.

I have zero CSS skills so cannot code this myself. I think this design would be useful for other people as well.

If this is something that Micro.blog isn’t interested in implementing, please let me know.

Thanks!

Standardizing the width of inline attachments would go a long way to make the newsletters more readable, for sure.

This issue was a big part of the reason I moved back to MailChimp from Micro.blog newsletter hosting.
