[Techtalk] Fixing up live.linuxchix.org

A correction to what I posted earlier for stylesheet.css -

div.livebody {
	/*made width 75% instead of 72%*/
	width: 75%;
	}

div.liveside {
	/*made width a % instead of px - not a good idea to mix*/
	
	width: 12%;
	
}

Hi folks,

A reader of http://live.linuxchix.org/ pointed out to me that the site is
unreadable for her. It looks like this to her:
http://users.puzzling.org/users/mary/tmp/live.linuxchix.org/bad-screenshot.j
pg

She also reports that this happens on a bunch of browsers, including
Konquerer and Firefox for Windows.

The bad news is, I can't replicate it on browsers I'm running (Firefox on
FC3 and Ubuntu 5.04, Epiphany -- which is the Firefix renderer anyway
-- on Ubuntu 5.04). I've taken a bunch of screne shots from my own browser
at a bunch of resolutions and I don't get the missing text effect:

 1. http://users.puzzling.org/users/mary/tmp/live.linuxchix.org/640x480.jpg
 2. http://users.puzzling.org/users/mary/tmp/live.linuxchix.org/800x600.jpg
 3. http://users.puzzling.org/users/mary/tmp/live.linuxchix.org/1024x768.jpg

Anyone got any tips on what's causing this? Since I can't replicate it, I'd
also appreciate help testing the changes (ie, if you say "try blah" all I
can do is try it and reply "um, tell me if it worked", which might take a
while).

Also, side-note, I know that page is claiming to be valid XHTML and it
isn't. (It's also not going to be, since I'm importing other people's HTML
-- so no "but you have to make it validate" nags unless you're willing to
fix the Planet software yourself. Ta.) I will remove that claim in about an
hour's time.

-Mary
