And apologise to anyone who can’t see the blog properly (including myself) because I cant spend time on it until tomorrow night.
]]>I will check out your collapsible sidebars post.
In a bit of a sneaky, selfish, way, saving this is going to have to be left to heather now as my broadband connection ends in a few hours and it will probably be two or three weeks before I am back online.
Heather – sorry 🙂
]]>The browser world (IMHO) just isn’t ready for CSS-based placement and floating divisions… there are just too many installed older browsers out there. Although the idea probably doesn’t appeal to you, these issues would likely go away if you just switched to a 2 or 3 column table and allowed the blog content area to expand to fit the size of the window. I know working with tables is pretty fugly, but there’s a reason why they call it the *lowest* common denominator. 😉
Either way, good luck with your new layout.
Oh, and if the right sidebar is causing width issues because of the amount of content there, have you considered collapsible sidebars? Sections that pop open only when people click on them? In this way you can just pick the few that people are most commonly going to want to look at (like recent articles, recent comments, photostream, etc) and leave those open, but collapse all the others… if you do that everything fits in one column instead of two, and then you have more area for your content which, let’s face it, is why people show up in the first place. 🙂
I wrote about collapsible sidebars on my own blog awhile back. Here’s a link if you are interested:

Otherwise- re fat right sidebar. Lets hope it doesnt come down to c***y javascript to determine monitor sizes and deliver different pages. That way madness lies
]]>Good that its ok in Konqueror.
The tag cloud is a real dog’s breakfast. Better not look at that for a while.
]]>Right hand column seems very wide though, is that on purpose?
