Default Japanese-esque

Hey folks, just messing around with a fluid CSS layout at the moment, and would value opinions: Nihon Sutairu.

Thanks in advance.

Really nice Gordon, love the style, does it look any better with justified text to line up the right hand side of the text?

when put to it's smallest possible horizontal size before the horizontal scrollbar appears the navigation blocks get offset a bit.

your double columns on the right get a little too thin as well. word length may pose an issue there at some point.

looks good otherwise.

@picky-very-picky: Thank you :) I did try justified text... but it ended up rendering massive gaps between some words due to the narrowness of the right culumns... otherwise that would have been a nice touch :)

@LeadMagnet: Thank you very much. Your screen resolution is about the average of people visiting my site (mostly other web devs).

@Rossable: Thanks man... the unfortunate problem with completely fluid design is the fact that something has to give. I did try using fixed widths in that right column, but decided against. As I said to LeadMagnet, most of the people who visit my site are using decent resolutions.

The navigation has been a PITA! To stop the links from collapsing when the viewport is resized small I added white-space: nowrap;... and it solves the prob to an extent, but like you say... looks a bit funky at times :)

Thank you very much for your feedback!
