It's verra nice, but it's a little wide in my browser.

Bill, I come here for the content. As long as it load with a decent speed, I don't give a damn what it looks like.

But that's just me. :)

"loads with a decent speed."

Sorry, too much Scotch.

loads a good bitwide in my browser for some reason, which is just ie.

Same deal here. I really like the design - clean, crisp, strong. Stretches beyond the end of my browser, though.

When you say "stretches beyond your browser" what does that mean exactly? What part (body text, images)? Sidebar?

And what resolution are you viewing the site in?

Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Display--> Settings ...

Thanks!

Now I think I see what you are taking about ... about 25% of the grey sidebar is off the page ...

Due to the massive image in this post: http://www.indcjournal.com/archives/000302.php

At 1024x768 the site does NOT have a horizontal scroll when maximized. If it is minimized, it will scroll. In 800x600 you're probably scrolling two screens worth to the right.

This template is VARIABLE WIDTH, meaning it will expand/contract with your browser size...but only if NOT held open by very wide images such as in the post referenced above.

My computer is in 1024x768 right now and it looks perfect ...

Loads fine in Safari, and looks great. One vote for regime ch... um, template change.

Swanky, I say, SWANKY!

It's the new "INDC Suite" at the fabulous Blogistan Hotel & Casino

Clean and readable (priority #1!).

What I would change would be link color and visited link color. The blue doesn't match anything else on the page and the red doesn't match your red in the header. (It may be the same color but coloring text to match blocks of color is very difficult.)

I like the way it looks now WAY better! Good job!

To solve the wide image problem, add this code:

overflow: hidden;

to any div class in your stylesheet that will be used to display images, most likely the #links, .side, and .blogbody divs. When you have a wide image it won't expand the div and force everything off the page.

Or you could just resize the image.

Very nice.
