Stylesheet wierdness

As soon as I published my last blog entry, I noticed some really weird behaviour on the stylesheets for my site - it seems like it happens on the blog and sometimes on long pages, but alas, humility is ironically timely - I just finished talking about debugging and found my own problem! If you notice it on any page, please accept my apologies - I'll look into it as soon as I can. Maybe I'll even blog about it, you never know, but I typically claim to have no time to blog because I'm too busy fixing stuff. This one is a stylesheet problem where we are using a pure CSS layout as much as possible, so sometimes things go wacky with the dynamic resize. I'm still a fan of table layouts Vs <div> and CSS layouts for commercial projects for exactly this reason - safety!

Of course, as soon as I posted this I went in to find the problem! The problem (for the curious) was the title was too long and wrapped... one would think this should just cause the title to break, but because the boxes (technically, containers) for this style are fixed width, it threw off the contents below the title... I haven't "fixed" it yet, but at least I know how to avoid it - which is almost a fix, right?
