It's taken me a while to write you because I've been digesting and
applying all the advice I got about my newbie CSS efforts.
Hi, Studs Terkel, Chicago, on this end with some suggestions that have
nothing to do with what you wrote David Hucklesby about-- or even CSS,
for that matter...
Everyone in the universe is not on your 96 dpi monitor at 1024. At
1680/116.5 dpi the line-measure far too long and will be worse at 120
and 130 dpi on wide screen laptops. Shoot for something like +- 68
characters and spaces per line. Min/max width on the outer most wrapper
is a base start toward that.
It might be worthwhile to make the page a little more contemporary:
1/ The background-image does nothing for that page other than make the
text more difficult to read than it already is.
2/ The sidebar is too narrow. Try setting the text links flush-left or
flush-right [ text-align: left; text-align: right; ] to the "boxes" and
then ditch the boxes.
3/ The paragraph indentation does not help your cause whatsoever -- it
just makes those blocks ziz-zag in and out [ the purpose of typography
is simply to make content readable ].
