Angry in the Great White North

I've replaced the old clunky full-page reload when you select a content theme with an Ajax refresh of the centre pane. So now if you click on "True Crime", for example, the entire page is no longer reloaded with a Google-confusing parameter. Instead, the centre frame has the content replaced with new content. This will increase the speed of people's browsing experience.

Other changes: the bio page, the quotables page, and the dedication page have all been deployed. Also, the newsfeed have been improved using Feedburner.

Finally, a question. I've purposely kept the page limited to 800 pixels in width, not including the ad rail on the right. So that means a person viewing the blog using an 800x600 resolution can see all the important horizontal content. For people with wider screens, though, that means that the chance put more on the screen is lost as my columns do not currently resize. I have three options:

1. Leave well enough alone. The design works under all resolutions.
2. Widen the page to 1024 pixels (or more) and have low-res crowd put up with sideways scrolling.
3. Make the centre column variable width.

The last option seems like the most obvious, but it means redesigning my slices, and will take some time. I want to know what people think before I make that leap.
