Rotem-
Now here's something you should see, *this* is what I call a website: (this really rocks the boat!)
http://www22.brinkster.com/rotemdan/Wikipedia-Vorbis-site-rip.html
- We need all the screen width we can get for articles, otherwise
floating tables, images etc. won't work very well. The design contains no
While maintaining a max-width on the article space (max-width, however, is not supported by MSIE/Win) that is not too wide for optimal reading. (about 40-45em is usually good)
I drafted a compromise design:
http://jeluf.mine.nu/jf/kiribati/
The right side is used to place the floats, while the left side uses some 60% of the screen width for the article. On my 1024x768 screen this results in about 50 em text width.
Navigational items have been added to the top of the design. Vorbis's images were replaced by our old-fashioned topbar.
Note the "edit..."-links at the top of each float. Those should ideally be editable on its own. A new box can be added using the toolbox containing all the edit links.
I kept the donations box in place, it could be a blue box to the right, too.
TODOs: Page looks OK in Mozilla and Opera. MSIE has to big fonts. Font face is mixed, some texts are sans-serif, some are serif. This is fine tuning, I think one can get the concept nevertheless.
