What if you make your browser narrower?  Maybe it should have some 
dancing bunnies in whatever space is leftover?

I'm still thinking about the content layout, but I would rather that it 
looks reasonable at 100 pixels wide than have it require 1024+ to 
render -- and still limit the text columns to a reasonable line length.  
Getting CSS to do this right always boggles me.  I think the semantic 
structure is adequately tagged, so it can probably be done with CSS if 
someone wants to try that.

You mean the followed links?  Perhaps I would have to leave the "safety 
of blue" to get something with adequate contrast against both the 
background and the text.
