hello! sorry for the delay; I only check this account every couple of weeks or so (in contrast with daily on my main account). 

so, essentially the deal with this code (and pretty much all of my codes) is that it uses the responsive bootstrap grid system. you can read about it in detail here if you like, but basically the about box is the second column in a row, while the other column contains the tree icon. the width of the tree icon column is defined by the class "col-md-6", while the width of the about column is defined by "col-xl-6". (the md/xl bits do some mobile responsiveness stuff - don't mess with them.) you can use CTRL-F to find them quickly if you don't want to sift through the whole code; thankfully this section is the only place those classes show up! right now, because the grid system uses 12 sections to a row, and both columns have a width of 6, they each take up half of the row. it's very important that both widths here add up to 12, because if they add up to more than 12, one of the columns will be shoved down below, and that would look silly.

in summary: to make the about box wider, you can change "col-md-6" to "col-md-5" and "col-xl-6" to "col-xl-7" (or 4 and 8, or 3 and 9, etc.). but whatever you set it to, remember that the ultimate width is determined by the size of the screen you are using to view the page. hope that helped!

oh gosh, I'm sorry I didn't get to you sooner! I only check this account about once a month (am more active on my main account). so, the thing about this code is that it uses the bootstrap theme system! toyhou.se has a number of themes you can choose from, and this theme will change colors to fit the theme! for example, the bars that look blue to you look yellow to me, because I'm using the bee theme.

you can override this by inserting specific elements into the ' style="" ' section of a <div> (or other type of) element. to set text color, use color: #HEXCODE; (for example, #FFFFFF is white - you can look up a color picker to select the color you want, and copy and paste the hex code in), and to set the color of most other elements (like the header), use background-color: #HEXCODE; . 

the tree icons make use of the FontAwesome icon pack! these icons look like <i class="fa fa-ICON"></i> in the code, where ICON is the name of the FontAwesome icon. you can look up more kinds of icons on their website!

sorry about the delay - if you already figured it out, I hope this can be of some use to others.

hello! this is a free to use code, so do what you like with it! sorry I didn't get to you sooner; I don't check this account very often so it's better if you hit me up on my main account. here's a modified version of the polaroid code with links and text added. feel free to tweak further: 'transform: rotate()' is what makes the elements do the wobble thing, so you might want to set it to different values for each separate polaroid to keep the offset look. or remove it altogether, if you want to put them back in alignment! anyway:

oh! what a lovely use of this code, thank you! and you're not blind; I seem to have forgotten to place my usual link. thanks for bringing it to my attention! I'll get that fixed in the near future.
