Has the width of our postings-column (this text-against-white column here) suddenly become too wide? I was looking at the blog on a Windows PC, and it looked fine. Then I went home and, looking at it on the home Imac, the column was suddenly a couple of extra inches wide -- and still is. On the Imac, the column extends out to the right, way beyond the width of the logo. I'm having to scroll left and right.

If visitors wouldn't mind giving me some feedback in the comments to this posting, I'd appreciate it. Does the column width look OK to you? Anything strange about it?

Many thanks.

Looks fine on my iMac. But Colby Cosh and Scrappleface do that on mine, so yours may follow. I think it's all part of the PC conspiracy to keep Mac users oppressed. Have you noticed that PC users get cool little buttons in MT for editing their blog that we Mac users don't?

When I bring the type size up to where I need it, which isn't _that_ large, you are well-off the page. So I would say that something is wrong.

Yes, the column on the main page appears wider in Mozilla (v. 0.9.8, Linux). I suppose it has something to do with your previous posting, Michael, because all the other permalinks lead to pages with normal column width.

It's fine on my Mac (Internet Explorer 5, OS 8.6).
Hey, Alexandra, Colby's site does something different on my machine: very wide green sidebar, with the entries in a skinny column on the right – no scrolling needed, though. The problem materialized only a few weeks ago.

Fixed. It was this, as one long unbroken line.

"making - a- living- as - a - freelancer - doing - something - interesting - rather - than - working - as - a - flunky - in - a - boring - job"

I broke up the words and dashes....

Many thanks to everyone, especially Daniel. Mea culpa. I should have known it was the long unbroken chain of hyphenated words. I won't be doing that again.
