Anyone else having trouble with the weblog?

My friend, NYkrinDC, writes to say that the weblog layout is really screwed up for him and sends this link to prove it.

It looks fine for me (but it would, I designed it). Here's what it's supposed to look like:

So, can you tell me what the weblog (http://thomaspmbarnett.com/weblog, not the home page (http://thomaspmbarnett.com)) looks like for you and what kind of monitor you've got (laptop. widescreen, regular CRT, etc.)?

Thanks!

It's how I see it off my Mac and off my Treo.

Sean:

The ads at the top are skewed--two out of sync on the left and the remaining four on the right. Text is all on the right side of the screen and the Great Powers ads that should be on the right side of the screen are not there. I have a PC with a standard monitor.

Typically, problems like this are due to the browser being unable to fully support the standards used on the website. But, since your friend apparently tested this on every browser, it would lead me to believe that there's something wrong with the site. How long ago did you design the site?I'm using Firefox 3.0.8 which shows the off-site links at the top arranged correctly but the small blue links (home, about tom, etc..) spread across the top of the page and not falling within the grey box they're supposed to.

Looks like it should to me =)

Looks just like it's suppose to. For the record, Sony TX670P (compact laptop with a small screen) running XP. Also looks fine on my Dell with a 21" screen running Vista.

Hey Sean, seeing what NY is seeing via FF/Linux/15" laptop screen.

Sean,Using a standard 800x600 monitor, I get html wrap around andboth related overprint with both IE7 and FF308. Using the ZoomToolbar FF extension, to zoom out corrects the view.I assume that Microsoft ZoomIT tool would do the same forcorrecting the IE view on such a monitor but I have not verifiedthis on Tom's weblog.JBOR

Am running a PC with a Samsung Syncmaster flat panel monitor. Have checked in both FF and IE7. Two of the ads are on the left at the top with the other four skewed to the right.

The gray box is on the right. The book links are in a vertical row on the right side of the page.

I'm on a Mac, using Firefox and Safari, and it's a messy. The upper links stack rather than being properly laid out.

It looks like it should to me on a MacBook Pro 15" laptop, a PowerMac G5 with 19" LCD (1280x 960) and a MacPro with 23" Cinema display (1920x1280).

Cheers,

Having the same issue here is Oz, both at work and at home, Mozilla and Google Chrome. Ad look odd and critical links like blog roll, article list, and archives a mile down the scroll bar.

Having the same issue as Earl both at work with desktop and 19 inch Dell monitor, and at home with dual display set to extended monitor across my Dell laptop and Dell flat screen.

My mac notebook is fine. My PC CRT loses the third column of media links and stacks them under the second column of media links

[Donald Honaker]

Web site properly displayed in IE 7.057xx error appears in FF 3.08.Possibly pass it through WWW3 syntax checker. Good luck.

Well it's because the blog has a fluid layout with a max width. So below a certain width the top links and layout is screwed up.

In my own design I just design for a fixed width of 780px, with the most important links and content visible at the left, so people with smaller screen resolutions can still use it without scrolling.

All screwed up on my minimac with big LaCie monitor, tried everything, preferences, emptying cache, etc. Fine on my office iMac.

Looks fine in Safari from my Mac but on my iPod the latest post title always appears jumbled up with the links to the right of Tom's picture. Any other iPod/iPhone users experiencing this?

[Jarrod Myrick]

new design looks great from here Sean.

Michal: can you send a screenshot and or more info? browser? screen width?
