Here's the deal. Someone mention to me that my blog(link below) is not displaying properly at anything below 10x7. The links on the right hand side do not start till after everything else has been displayed. For the life of me I can't figure out why. I can't believe this has gone on for so long without me noticing it. Please help

That sort of thing happens when you use floats for your layout. Myself, I prefer to set the right margin of my content to 15em or so, make my side bar 15em wide and then position the sidebar.

By the way, there is no trailling slash in HTML (<br />) and you need to start with a doctype (<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">). Then I would suggest that you run the thing through The Validator (http://validator.w3.org/).

And it would be nice if you found a way that we who do not use JavaScript, and we're one out of ten users, could use your navigation.

Charles is anti-xHTML (You still need a doctype), but I think content negotiation (http://www.autisticcuckoo.net/archive.php?id=2004/11/03/content-negotiation) might be of interest to you.
