gollark: So you'd just have to add, I don't know, `main.blog-post { max-width: 100% }`.
gollark: Well, I would really not like columns, personally. As I said, what I *can* do for you is add theming.
gollark: Maybe I could just add a site theming system so you can write your own CSS and have it saved.
gollark: I think most content-heavy websites do similar stuff.
