No, the blog isn't broken -- I switched the layout. I've incorporated the two right columns into one column instead. Now the main blog has more horizontal space for code and stuff. It also looks a lot better on my horizontal screenspace-challenged Mac but the light colours are still too faded out on the Mac's LCD screen. The light orange background looks almost the same colour as the white unless I tip the screen back.

That doesn't happen on my excellent Viewsonic LCD though -- the colours are very distinct. I've never been so impressed with an LCD monitor and I think I'll wait until the PowerBook's LCD looks this good until I splurge for one. Maybe it already does look better than the iBook's ... Jamie, what's the verdict?

Just as a general warning to everyone: tweaking your blog is addictive. If you have a blog you just can't stop playing with the layout. It's a serious time sink and if there's any good reason not to get a blog, this is might be one of them. I'm just glad I settled on MoveableType for blogging software. If I was playing with the blog backend too I'd never have time for other projects.
