    Firstly, I would like to thank you for the good quality videos you have produced.

    I have built a new skin based on bootstrap 3 using your videos as a reference point.
    Also I have been looking into using this skin in combination with the new DNN blog module again using your videos as a reference.

    I have come across a problem that I am hoping you may be able to help me work through with regards to the new DNN blog version 6.1.2.

    I am satisfied with the layout of the blog on large and medium screens. However when it comes down to using it on a small screen for example, a Samsung Galaxy note 2, the small shaded area on the left of each blog post which contains the date, number of comments and tags will not fit on the screen.

    It would seem that the screen sizes works well until the point when the small screen comes into play and then chops off the left side.

    The other thing I have noticed is that when I place the blog module in the middle of 3 panes the area in question overflows into the left pane.
    Would I need to create a container using Bootstrap?
    Have you any suggestion's how I might overcome this issue?

    Thanks in anticipation,
    kind regards
    Trevor

    Hi Trevor,

    Modules in general might be a problem when dealing with responsiveness and we never know what kind (or quality) of HTML they are spitting out.

    Can you send me the URL to your problem page so I can check it out?

    Thanks,
    Forro

    Hi Andy,

    I have found that if I use the Classic Blog system rather than the default system then every things fits quit nicely.

    I tried this today and I looks good with some extra .css so I think I will go with it.

    I only have a dev site set up with the latest version of the blog and because I am not sure of what will happen during an upgrade from the earlier version I am hesitant to upgrade a production site until I worked out all the possible problems I may encounter.

    However, thank you very much, I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

    Kind Regards
    Trevor
