I may end up taking this layout back to a standard two-column format. While up at the folk’s place I pulled up SEB on their PC and saw that it doesn’t work well in an 800x600 display. Those two side columns squeeze the hell out of the middle. My folks are getting older so they have to keep their PC set to a lower resolution or they can’t see the text. Hmmm. I’ll have to play around with things and see if I can’t come up with something a little less compressed at that resolution.

Had the same problem a couple of layouts ago on my site. At the time I really wanted the three column look, and hated the way it looked at 800*600. Solution: give all the columns set widths along with having the overall body being a set width. People may have to scroll to the right at 800*600 but you will be happy with the design and they will be able to see everything…
Just a thought
About the layout it has pretty colors, font is ok, but when you start to read your poor old brain says this is alot of fucking words—where do I start!!!
Well, as you can clearly see, I’ve resorted back to a two column layout. It took less hacking than I anticipated and should make things a little more legible for people still using 800x600 resolution.

I like the 2 column layout as well. I have a screen res of 1024x768 because that’s as small as I’ll go. The three columns just seem more cluttered than two.

I am glad you went back to the two column format, it is so much easier to read. Since I haven’t told you yet, I love your new design! It fits your personality quite well.

You mean all I have to do is take the resolution to 800x600 and I could be seeing things again especially with my contacts in? Wow…where were you earlier. Thanks for the tip.
