RSS Feed Looks Small on the screen

So I've done my app. I'm SOOOO proud!!! I've got some RSS feeds coming in from a Wordpress blog, but when I go to the feed on the app, the writing is so small and I can't read it. Here's a screenshot I uploaded to Imgur: http://i.imgur.com/goUim.png Please help! Have I got a setting set wrong so it thinks there's less screen? Can I set it to automatically fill the page?

Hi Wadey, Did you look in the Advanced List Properties for the RSS Screen to see if anything there would solve the issue? I don't see anything in particular that would control the size of the particular feed article font, but maybe I'm missing something. Have you checked what the feed looks like when you open it up in a regular browser? By the way...it's good to be proud of what you've accomplished! Buzztouch is amazing stuff! Mark

Really strange. I tried it on my Galaxy Nexus running ICS and it came out as above. Tried it on my wifes htc desire and it came out fine. When i tried to read the main article on the rss half was missing. On hers fine! Now I'm really confused.

Sounds like its possibly a setting on the device itself, related to resolution or screen size or something? Good example of why it's important to test on real devices, especially in the Android area! You'll probably need to Google a bit to figure this one out. Mark

The more I look at it, the more I think it's a display issue. The image on the front when the app first opens is also smaller, being pushed to the left to leave a black space. Is there a way in the code or api that should be set to auto fill?
