Thanks for updating the title – that single N looked terrible.
It’s a weird template in that we all must remember to write very short headlines or this is possible. Happened to one of my posts, too, J
We can choose some other template any time we fell like it – this was just the first I came across that looked both reasonably simple and well-structured directly after I set up the blog.
All’s good with it Christoph – no worries. It works fine I think – we all just need to remember its preference for short headings. It’s a good habit to get into anyway – usually you can clarify easily with the post (longer details), J
