Hello, please go to www.espacioasir.com first and notice how the second article has been 'crushed' to the left - half of the article's normal width.

Anyway, I don't think I can explain much more, my question is very clear: Why is this happening? I do want mention that the content of the article itself has nothing to do (or maybe just a bit), as I tried changing it, and the text did expand to the article's normal width; however, the bar on top (with the article's title "Espacio Asir" and the PDF, print & mail icons was still only at half-width).

I also tried changing the site back to Joomla's default theme, but this did not help. I guess it could be a Joomla 1.5 bug, but I really don't think such obvious error would be present in this version.

I'd really appreciate any help in advance, and if I did not explain myself clear enough, please let me know and I'll add the info needed and post some screens.

It's a feature, not a bug. If you add a third article, the third one will be on the second row, to the right of the second article, also "crushed". -- Or "1/2 column" rather than full column width.

Information on overriding the default layout. For more help, ask in the Joomla forums.

Thank you so very much, I didn't know they had such a weird feature.In any case, as you explained those were columns, I noticed I could change the value from 2 to 1, and so I did. You can see it works perfectly now.Thanks!

This how Joomla shows a blog layout. Its working properly.

If you want to change the layout type, you need to go to the Main Menu, and edit the Home menu item. You will see that its set to blog layout. You can click on the change type button to choose a different one.

I tried changing it, but I just changed the # of columns and that did it for me. Thank you very much!
