Every time I put the site into a narrow window, I often cringe at how things end up being formatted.  (Although, despite looking a bit odd, it does all reformat properly.)  If I let the left and right columns of text each take up a full 50% of screen real estate, I think it will look better on lower resolution monitors.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still debating where I want the navigation buttons to end up &#8211; at the top or bottom.  I&#8217;m leaning toward the bottom, but I&#8217;m not entirely sure.  I&#8217;ll have to play around with a test page and see how it looks.  (I just noticed that the email button brings up the text &#8220;Send email to Virgil.&#8221; rather than &#8220;Send email to Jason.&#8221; Oops.  Fixing it will have to wait until I&#8217;m home from work.) I briefly considered removing the buttons altogether but quickly rejected that idea.  There needs to be some kind of navigational theme in place.  I <i>do<\/i> want to include a box of &#8220;Interesting Links&#8221; at some point, somewhere, and could possibily incorporate the navigational links into that &#8211; but I also want to keep consistency between my personal pages and those of Inferno Enteprises itself, and having buttons looks better.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I fear that if I decide on this switch, I&#8217;m going to leave myself open to a world of hurt.  You&#8217;d <i>think<\/i> that the design principles I currently have in use for the horizontal display would work just as well for a vertical layout &#8211; but I&#8217;m not entirely sure of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m thinking of moving this site&#8217;s navigation buttons from the left and right sides of the page to either the top or bottom.
