I just discovered this site looks terrible in Netscape 6.2 for Windows. Nearly half of my visits are from people using Netscape, primarily on Linux, so if it looks like crap on Linux and Mac, I am chagrinned. I spent a lot of time fiddling and fiddling to make it look right in Netscape and IE for Mac, so this was a startling revelation that came months later. My apologies if you've been looking at a skinny mainbar with a lot of whitespace between it and the sidebar.

I've been wanting to redsign this site for a while now, but it certainly won't happen before the end of the semester. Obviously a three-column layout is not feasible with the plethora of ways browsers render style sheets, so I'll certainly move to a two-column layout and perhaps even with fixed width. The thing, is, I want to avoid "the never-ending blogroll," yet I want to point people to my friends' sites and other blogs I like, as well as have the archives accessible from the front page. So, I guess I have three options, namely, get over it and deploy the blogroll of death, get over it and significantly prune the sidebars, or take the plunge and try doing some thing with rollover menus in DHTML. The third option seems like a good solution, but I already feel burned by CSS and I don't see the point in spending a lot of hours and energy on trying to solve unexpected rendering problems. I don't see a lot of sites use rollover menus much anymore, perhaps its because they're flaky and stuff.
