I'm no web language expert, but I think the problem must be more than that. My browser window is about 1200 pixels wide, and I get blank columns of ~20%, of the screen width either side of the displayed page, then a menu at the left, and the article text displayed wider than the area it gets displayed in. If I shrink the width of the window, the blank columns get narrower, until finally the text area is smaller than the window. The text display never changes... I suppose I can understand how this sort of thing happens in the Windoze world, where basically everybody uses the same browser on a low-resolution display, but this is supposedly a linux-specific site.
