Creating my custom recipes: enlarge image in blog post

[cafedo]

Hi everybody!
I've done a simple custom recipes for this blog: http://borisjr.blogspot.com/.
This is the result:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1295559267(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'BorisJr'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
no_stylesheets = True
remove_javascript = True
keep_only_tags = [dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'post hentry'})]
remove_tags = [dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'post-footer'})]
extra_css = '''
Apple-style-span {color:black;}
td.tr-caption {font-size:14px;}
'''
feeds = [(u'BorisJr', u'http://borisjr.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default')]

The result on my Kindle is pretty well, but I've two question:
- it's possible to enlarge a little bit the image content in each post? Maybe do i have to enlarge margin of the post converted? How?
- Using this command <Apple-style-span {color:black;}> I can't change article font color (wich is red) in black, probably because I can't attach very well the real css class of article text. So the article in Kindle appears faded; what i have to do to prevent this?

Thanks in advance..

There is a Calibre Recipes sub-forum for questions like this.

Yes. you can scale images. set the CSS to 100% min-width may do what you want. Of course, you can't get any more image data/pixels than the source image has. Look at the comics.com recipe for info. You can also use Image Magick tools to do some of this.

Remove style or CSS you don't want and add extra-css you do want.
