A note to readers:

We have been receiving complaints about the formatting of this weblog. Users of MS Internet Explorer and Mozilla say that text is rendered in wide lines - requiring scrolling back and forth.

Due to our posting of diagrams, we modified our Template. We will re-examine the HTML, but what should happen is this:

If there is a wide diagram somewhere within the page, then the browser takes that diagram's width and applies it when rendering text for all posts (not just the one with the diagram). For example, in a post below we have a diagram (bar chart) that is 750 pixels wide. Add a few pixels for padding and what happens is, if your browser/display is smaller than, say, 760 pixels in width, text may be hidden to the right (requiring scrolling).

If there is no diagram, then all text should be constrained to the dimensions of the browser window.

NOTE: We try our best to reduce the size of the diagrams, but can't go too small or the text becomes unreadable.

We will re-examine our Template HTML and see if there is a bug or if this problem can be eliminated.
