While I was aware of it, I couldn't figure out what was causing it so I used a bit of a hack to suppress the issue for the time being; which resulted in the lack of a horizontal scrollbar. I did find and remedy the bug now, it turns out some nested list elements were inheriting a width that was too wide but the links inside of them were wrapping appropriately, providing no clues for me.

I really love your design but I have to make a bug report :) I'm on macosx, using Safari and Firefox (both latest stable versions); my browser's window are typically 1024x768 but occasionally I resize them to 800x600. Well using them at the lower size your website leaves out a lot of content from the right side and the browsers do not get the typical scrollbar. I can provide you some screenshot, but I guess it's easily reproducible. Now off to read some old article I go. Hi there,

It really focusses on the content - which is a great read too. I sure spend one saturday morning reading your articles. Just a few notes: - for me the font size for the content is too small, I read your articles with a 'ctrl-+' - the gray as fontcolor for content is maybe a bit too light. Could be a LCD problem only - a centered alignment could take away the need for the pattern of plus symbols - right now on your homepage the big title explains you recently wrote some pretty powerful design books. Where I can I buy these? ;-) Wow, I love this site. It really focusses on the content - which is a great read too. I sure spend one saturday morning reading your articles.

I am assuming this lines up to the grid, since I am seeing a recurring padding from the gravatar to the comment author text, that also lines up to this comment box. I like it!

You've kept the key distinctive elements and thrown away the restrictions. I love the use of colour. I love everything about the headings. The meaning and purpose of the content is going to have a hard time slipping into irrelevance — at the same time by the sheer size and colour+weight contrast they give an immediate distinction between pages, no mean feat for a pure text. Nice nice nice. Keep up the great work. Kyle, great job! You’ve kept the key distinctive elements and thrown away the restrictions.

As for releasing the theme, I don't plan on it. It received a bit of attention and I'd like to keep it exclusive as a portfolio piece rather than it being duplicated across the web, which would reduce it's value in a portfolio. I wouldn't rule out me creating a free Wordpress theme someday, but given the lack of sleep I already suffer from currently, I wouldn't say it would be soon. :) @Razvan: Thanks for the compliment.
