Did you geather stats on what the majority resolution most of your readers use, or do we assume that most bloggers (who I presume are your main audience) browse at 1024×768? Still it’s interesting that you don’t lose out much if you browse at say 800×600 as that right-hand column is currently non-essential to the BH itself.</blockquote> Months ago when we had hoped to have this design out in March, we had decided to go at least 900px wide or so. Chris can probably shed more light on this (and he will be posting about the design over at his blog tomorrow) - but we started with 1024x768 and went from there. Statistically though, we have an awful lot of folks browsing at 1024x768, Matt

I can can assure you that you're still there. We randomized this quite some time ago and limited the length. Matt Mike,

I assume you are talking about the whitespace to the right of these comments? (hint) Nice design, nice update on the logo .. I like the new look. I particularly like the linking of the watch and job sites in here .. nice touch. Like Abe .. I wonder about those Flickr images below .. two of ten are unavailable, Also, while I don't often surf the archives .. surfing the categories now gives me one extra click to do that .. since they are on the archives page. Other than those items .. good job. Regarding your 10:18pm update … I assume you are talking about the whitespace to the right of these comments? (hint)
