I cant even see what I was typing in half this comment box. I'm using the most recent Firefox, and turned off my blocking plugins just in case they were conflicting with something. But your actual main content is only about 3" wide as far as what I'm able to see. The rest of the main content is hidden under the gray on the right, adn there's a horizontal scrollbar on the bottom, but it doesn't help to make any part of the main content hidden under the gray right side become visible. Am I the only one that it's messed up for? It's doing it on post pages, as well as on the home page. I wonder why your site is no longer working correctly for me?
