Sorry to give you some bad news... The problem "fixed itself" once the problematic posts had been "pushed off" the first page. If you navigate to certain posts, the problem still occurs. I've observed two different type of problems: 1. Formatting anomaly -- the right-hand-side navigation sidebar gets "pushed off" and ends up below the main post area 2. formatting anomaly plus links on post area and sidebar are inaccessible. On the upside, there are only a handful of the posts that seem to trigger one of the two problems described.
Hi Naoto, I think you are right. I wrote to their help line three times, never got an answer so I did some research myself. After Blogger changed their format, the little HTML tweaks I always made before may have help screw up the page layout. I've had to make way too many adjustments with the new edit formats. Apparently, I'm only one of many to express their feelings and complaints.
The unfortunate "side effect" of the general tend toward more mobile users means is the smaller form factor necessitates layout design that looks sort of like what was typical in the early days of the Web -- the age of CRTs with 4x3 aspect ratio (usually no bigger than 14" diagonal). Perhaps more limiting would be what would be needed for supporting touchscreen The "target" area for individual controls like buttons needs to be no smaller than a certain size (as fingers are relatively fat and squishy). Requiring the use of a stylus would be a "no-go" for most people.
In a nutshell, the larger space between paragraphs was probably necessary for readability on the smaller mobile device screen, as well making sure that the screen elements such as links, buttons, dropdown menus, etc. to assure that someone using touchscreen on mobile device won't accidentally click on the wrong item. As a desktop user you'll probably notice the content area of the blogsite is only about 1/3 the width of the screen (with large blank area on left and right side). This is the case for Twitter and Facebook as well. At least we're not having to deal with effective resolutions comparable to that of 8-bit micros of the 1970s and 1980s -- where you might have 16, 20, 24, 32, 40 or 64 characters per line.
