  Can some bunny please help me with the fixed column widths in Fjords04 template for my new blog. I have a bunny background, but the columns move with the window on some browsers and not others. So some people can see the background and some can not. Any help and advice would be great!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Do you have a custom design upgrade and are you looking for CSS editing help?

  Here is the problem. To keep the bunny showing to the left of the content, you have to set a hard left margin for the content area to keep it fixed. When you do that the “width” of your site is effectively increased by whatever that left margin is, and in the case of your site, that would put the width of your site over 1400px. That would mean your website would be wider than the monitors of 46% of the worldwide web surfing public and those people would have the left side of your site cut off, and in the case of the 22% (nearly a quarter of web surfers) that are still on 1024 wide monitor resolutions, that would mean the two right columns on your site would not be visible. They would have to scroll horizontally to the right to see what was in those other two columns and few people even think about scrolling horizontally (and hate it when they have to).
