fix the too-long issue of header line

[yuex]

Hi, talha131, I tried your pelican theme elegant, it's awesome, clean and elegant.

But I find the header line of some pages is too long, e.g. archive.html, tags.html. "span10" makes sense for article.html, cause it needs to cover the side bar column. But it looks weird in archive.html, tags.html, categories.html, when there is no side bar. So I guess perhaps it's a bug?

@yuex thank you for contributing to the project. No one appreciates it more than me. I should have responded earlier but last few days were crazy in my office. It took me more than a week to check my Github account.

"span10" makes sense for article.html, cause it needs to cover the side bar column

Yup, you are right. That's the reason I used span10 for articles.

But it looks weird in archive.html, tags.html, categories.html, when there is no side bar. So I guess perhaps it's a bug?

No it is intentional. I wanted to keep the look consistent. This is why categories, tags, archives and 404 page have span10.

I originally went with your idea during development. I realized although the change in length of the header line is subtle, it is jarring.

For the user, he is on the same site, he just clicked on a link. He doesn't care the link takes him to tags page or an article page. All he knows that by clicking he is following an internal link.

Now user's eye catch this subtle change. He feels something is out of place but doesn't know what it is. This effects reading comprehension. We want to UI to be consistent so that user's reading experience is not influenced by anything.

To be honest, I find both options to be evil. And I chose lesser evil of the two, for the sake of inhibited reading experience.

Still, please feel free to share ideas and patches.

Got it. But still, thanks for your kindly replay.
