Here’s an idea. The way the comment box is set up, a reader would automatically begin entering the comment, then entering the name, mail, etc. Why not tweak the tab focus accordingly. Enter comment then tab to name, mail, web, and finally submit.

Good point, Derek. I agree totally. I shall implement this in the next update.

I think the site width should be tweaked ever so slightly. The main column should never, under any circumstances be wider than 6″, otherwise you’ll lose the reader, as it will become so very hard to read. I think the max-width should be less than 1200px.

Just me though.

Steven,

That can be done easily. I asked for advice on StyleGala and someone has brought up the same thing. I think it’s currently set to ~1500px wide. This is a simple change.

Do you like the fluidity of the site?

Sure, but you need a min-width as well eg min-width 500px or 700px

IE does not support it but Moz FF does and others, so you do this:

your HTML set-up

// page content goes here

Your CSS set-up

.minwidth {
min-width: 500px; /* or eg 700px */
}
/* hide from IE MAC \*//*/

.minwidth {
border-left: 500px solid #fff;
/* match color with your outer borders - can be 500px or 700px depending on min-width setting */
}

.wrapper {
margin-left: -500px;
}
/**/
/* IE */


.minwidth {
height: 0;
he\ight: auto;
zoom: 1;
}


.minwidth {
border-left: 500px solid #fff;
/* match color with your outer borders - can be 500px or 700px depending on min-width setting */
}
.wrapper {
margin-left: -500px;
position: relative;
}

the code got cut off - will mail it instead - the minwidth solution

HTML

the <div> class="minwidth"</div&gt
; forms an outterwrapper for the wrapper div, the min-width CSS for IE

is first for all IE then lower then IE7 (IE conditionals)

This is now implemented.
