As you might have noticed, I did some minor maintenance on ANN's layout and re-arranged a few things while fixing a few inconveniences. What do you think?

I'm also under that impression. I briefly tested the layout on 800x600, and it looked fine to me - I only viewed the main page though.

I try to make the site readable by anyone, but these days it's difficult to fit a lot of content in just 800x600 without cluttering things up or requiring excessive amounts of vertical scrolling. Besides, I'm using a nice 1600x1200 resolution over here, so I sometimes have trouble to think back to the days when I still was on a 14".

The good thing about putting them on the left side is that it allows more news to be displayed on the first page (ie. there's more vertical room), and besides it easens up the layout by providing a bit of white space, once again preventing excessive clutter. But nothing is set in stone, and I will consider other options. |
