I will rethink over the [Xmas/pagan/secular] holidays when I hope to have time to deal with some of the design issues. Perhaps I got a little too happy with the CSS fixed attribute.

I mention this because I've come by several times, and each time, found myself really frustrated by your CSS, and went away. I think it's may be the fixed header and footer bars which do me in. On most blogs, that scrolls off, so I can read in the full height of my browser. Your design controls the amount of space as I scroll, too.

I use safari [2.0.2] and OS 10.4.3 and my 15" powerbook screen is set to 1280x854. The top, right, and bottom bars take up a fixed amount of space ... so when I want more I just readjust the browser. Usually my browser is expanded to about 2/3 the width of my screen. At that level everything looks pretty normal & comparable to many other blogs. I'm guesing your screen is set much at 800x600 or 1024x768 ... Anyway I have toyed with making the top bar narrower and so I probably will the next time I tinker with the CSS / layout. If you're getting different results and it's *not* related to screen resolution, I'd be interested from a tech perspectve to know. The main problems I've seen are (1) the CSS handling div margins & borders differently on different browsers (not showing black borders sometimes and showing them other times) and (2) handling the scrolling within and under divs incorrectly. Umm … thanks?

Im sad that your web "design" deprives me of nearly 2/3s of my browser (Safari) to put purple and blue boxes on screen in place of your thoughts, because, really, your thoughts are interesting, and *almost* worth looking past the site's design.
