Here's the deal: I'm utterly sick of reading a column of text that runs down the left side of my screen.
Sick, to death of it. I want a cure.
Generally, I use FireFox 1.0PR, but I don't think that has anything to do with this, because the pages display the same in IE 6.0. (Well, not the SAME, but the text and whitespace issue I'm bitching about stays the same.)
I'm bitching about the fact that many, many, news/text articles appear as strips of text running down the left of middle of my screen. I'm running 1280x1024, but it's like a waste, because I've got 5 inches of white space on the right side of my screen. It would be beautiful, wonderful, if the damn pages would center the page's content, and put white space on the sides. But no, I'm contemplating sitting 4 inches to the left so the damn text will be dead center in front of me.
What causes this? Is it a bad HTML sort of thing? Is there a setting I could simply chage to make FireFox render the page differently? Am I nuts?
This page, displays centered.
This page, displays all the way over to the left, and sucks.
Yeah, I can reduce my browser window to fit the small ass page, then move the window to center, but that's bull. The page should center in my screen, no matter what. I'd think.
Would some great web guru explain this to me?
Please and Thank you.
