A very simple, low-budget way of improving the display would be to change
the CSS to make the dates more compact.
If you find the following section of the CSS and remove the font-size and
margin-top statements:
/* The "Date" that occurs on the left hand side of timelines */
div.divider {
font-family: Georgia, serif;
font-weight: bold;
white-space: nowrap;
}
The timeline will be more compact
Thanks
