No problem with that. I'm interested in all opinions.

The 'productive page' is at http://www.maireadnesbitt.com/news/tinkerbell.html 
. It looks all right at greater windows widths. I have begun using CSS so that 
the display will degrade more or less gracefully as the window width is 
decreased. The rightmost image, then the next one, move under the other as that 
width is decreased. Is that what you call broken? 

If I put one image on each line, that will look all right even at a width of 
800 pixels, but will leave an awful lot of white space on wider windows. That's 
what I would call broken. 

On the main page, http://www.maireadnesbitt.com/ , I have a Flash presentation 
which does not adjust to changing window width and I thus have 5 versions of 
the HTML-code for that page! I'll be pleased when we can move Flash 
presentation somewhere else.

That would call for horizontal scrolling, which for me sacrifices elegance and 
aesthetics and ease of use. I admit that my emphasis is on information, rather 
than elegance and aesthetics.

With my current effort at 
http://www.maireadnesbitt.com/_bruce/news/tinkerbellnew.html , I have lots of 
problems. I'm a new CSS-user. I expected it to be simpler. I'm fighting with 
myself so that I don't take recourse to tables.

Cheers  Bruce
