Does the sidebar look better on the left or on the right?

Honestly, I really dislike the new sidebar because I use a netbook and the fixed width that you have on the sidebar makes the center column so narrow it's almost unreadable. Personally, I would have either the right picture or the left sidebar, but not both. However, if you really want both, keep the sidebar on the left and make it's width a percentage of the screen instead of fixed width (and you'll also have to change the center column so that the left margin is a percentage as well) so that it's still readable by people on netbooks.

I don't comment often, but I love your stories. :)

The sidebar has to be a fixed width, there isn't the option for a percentage. What I've done is change the centre column to a fixed width also, so hopefully it should be better for you.

Let me know x

If you edit the CSS directly, you can set the option for percentage. Before you changed anything, you had the right picture set as a percentage, the left sidebar as a fixed width, and the center was the remainder. With your current settings now, the center covers the right picture entirely. If you don't know how to edit the CSS directly (I don't, I'm just getting all this info from my geeky boyfriend) then you are probably best just going back to your previous settings. I've found a plug-in for my browser that will let me fix it on my end. :)

I'm using a default layout, so I can't edit the CSS directly. I'd have to create a whole new layout from scratch, and while I could do that, I'm happy with my current settings.

I suppose if the sidebar and the centre column are readable, it doesn't matter too much about the image, right? :|
