In my never-ending quest to make the place look just right, I followed a link by Free Thinker and discovered, on Tips for New Bloggers, how to give the page three columns. All that blank space at the left of the screen bothered me; even using the "Stretch Denim" template, there was too much, even on Mrs. Drang's laptop screen. It was just wasted space, and to my Mid-West soul, if there are no crops or trees or buildings on it, it's Just Wrong.
Of course, I may go and check it on Mrs. Drang's laptop and discover that this doesn't work on smaller screens, and go back. We were looking at sub-notebooks a few weeks ago--Mrs. Drang thinking how convenient to carry it in her purse, which tends to the tiny size, me thinking that it would be a great part of a mobile amateur radio set-up--and the middle column might be squeezed to unreadability on one of those.
So stay tuned.
BTW, Tips for New Bloggers has not been updated in over a year, in fact, the latest post seems to be "We have extended our month-long vacation by a few weeks..." so I'm not sure what's up there.
Maybe they quit because, like the guy who resigned from the Patent Office, everything that needed saying, had been said...
EDIT: This link goes to the article "Three Columns Scribe Template". It also has links to turning other templates into three columns ones.

Your new 3-column layout looks great on three computers here: HP laptop running Win 2K and IE at 1024x768, IBM laptop running Linux 7.10 and Firefox at 1024x768, and Dell desktop running Linux 8.04 and Firefox at 1280x1080.
How'd'ja do it?
