Problem Solved

Some of you have complained that the left menu was too wide, obscuring the most recent posts. This was an issue in Internet Explorer. It appears that IE was putting a huge amount of whitespace in front of list items in the menu, then ignoring the size of the menu block. Other browsers, including IE Mac 5.2, were not exhibiting this behavior, so it took me some time to see the problem. The problem is solved now (at least in IE 6+). If you continue to see problems, switch to a web-friendly, standards-compliant browser like Firefox, or at least update Internet Explorer to the latest version.
In the future, I will probably provide a way to turn stylesheets off.
