Please let me know if the present line-length in the main blog is comfortable. If not, too long, too short? I think it's about right for good column length and probably good for most poetry display. But let me know if you think it needs something different.

I'm reading it on the one computer (at work) that previously squashed the columns. It is readable, but now requires scrolling across (which is a bit of a nuisance but tolerable)
The middle column's text width is comfortable here in Opera 7.11 for linux, but the right column isn't visible.
Dear Mr. White,
I hope that's because you're looking at the new layout and there is no right column. Otherwise I can't explain it. Does it appear as though there ought to be a right column? (The beginning of text, etc?)
shalom,
Steven
Looks fine on my laptop (1400 x 1050 screen size). But I go more for content, so make it look however you want. I'll be back because the content is good.
I have to scroll a tad from right to left to read the main column (at 800x600), but it's much much easier to read than the previous format.
Dear Peony,
What's your estimate of a little? Perhaps 20 px? Let me know and I'll adjust. The column could do with a little narrowing as it is still a fairly long line for comfortable reading. (It's larger than a paperback book on most screens) So let me know and I'll adjust a bit.
This was precisely the kind of feedback I'm looking for. Naturally it displays perfectly on the screens I look at it on, so I have some difficulty defining it precisely.
Thanks.
Steven
Steven,
Both your previous format and this one are quite comfortable for me.
I like this format
oh goodness, I just did trial and error until I got the results I liked (which I sent you.) But another 20-30 px might do the trick nicely. Every time I visit there's less scrolling needed. Thank you :)
Most excellent sir,
Looks precisely right both at work and at home. Who could ask for more?
Dear Mr. Riddle,
Oh! Your coral-colored title box spanning the width of the page led me to think there should be a third column below it on the right. Aside from that small snag in my mind, all is clean, clear and enjoyable.
