Maybe setting the <code>min-width</code> for the whole content area to a value which doesn't make the main content column narrower than 470px is a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion.

Regarding the browser width, could you please tell me the resolution of the monitor you are using? I have designed this layout to have the same content width both in 1024px and wider browsers (I am using 1440x900px or the wider laptop monitor). Your thoughts and ideas on how to improve the layout would be really helpful. The more I look to this design, the more I feel confused about the elements visitors do see first and would like to see.

Very cramped on smaller screen!) I would like to see the Widget-making tutorial you talked about doing. :)
