Maybe Richard or Husdal or even Juan will pick up the call, who knows? I'll check this thread again for sure. Later!

Theoretically speaking, a mobile layout can be achieved by only using custom CSS, no? What, then, to fill within body.single #content {details here} so as to limit it into specific unit without necessarily make the posting overlap the background image by default (illustration site: wapka.mobi)?

If you don't mind, will you post the code here? I'm speaking of Sandbox 1.6.1 with CSS and wanting to have scrollbars content on either posts or pages, say, limit the content height and width to specific unit (300px) yet still enable audiences to read long post without breaking the box (border). How to do that, please?

Thanks for replying.

Here's an example I helped work out:

Richard didn't say it's very difficult, he said it's not very advisable (and I agree).

So, it's near kin to impossible to have scrollbars content as can be seen at http://wapka.mobi even with CSS feature on WP.COM? Just asking...

It ends up confusing and complicating stuff considerably.

Other possibilities, for "condensed version":

Or maybe a condensed version that will expad when clicked on? Thanks
