IDblog ... an information design weblog

Banner Size

Thanks to an email from Allan Kempson, I've resized the IDblog's banner to be 950 pixels wide. When I was doing banner math, I neglected to include either the margins that the style sheet defined, nor the amount of room for the non-usable space (like the vertical scroll bar) that the browser imposes.

Alas, this means that folks (like myself) who don't browse in screens that are 1024+ pixels wide are stuck with the horizontal scroll bar. But I'm reluctant to size the image to assume 800 pixels wide. Note that experiments to make the image a background for an element in the style sheet turned out to be less than satisfactory cross-browser, so if anyone has another suggestion, please let me know!
