For a while now, I've been having a problem with the blogroll on my site. Certain blogs (generally Wordpress ones) appear on the blogroll with a massive thumbnail image to accompany the title. While this was annoying, I hadn't really done that much about it. It was making the blog a bit unsightly.

Recently, Jimmy from Eye of Terror contacted me to see if I knew about it. He told me what the cause of it was, but I am a bit of a Luddite when it comes to coding or doing anything with the blog, so didn't really understand what he was trying to tell me, try as best as he did.
I went to the Blogger help site and managed to get a simple fix that even I could follow! I thought I would share it with my fellow Bloggers so that they could fix it too.
If you are worried, back up your blog and template before you start.
1. Log into Blogger and select "Template" on the left hand side menu. Click on the "Customise" button underneath the image of your blog.
2. In the left menu, select "Advanced" and scroll down the second menu and select "Add CCS".
3. Add the following text:
.item-thumbnail img {
width:72px;
height:72px;
}
width:72px;
height:72px;
}
and click on "Apply to Blog".
Your blogroll should now adjust the image to the correct size for the blogroll from now on.
I don't pretend to understand what is happening, I am just going to assume that magic internet fairies are at work. Thanks to Jimmy for putting me onto the solution and to Lucas and Syed on the forum for actually coming up with the solution.
Hope that helps!
