2 or 3 columns?

i have been messing around with typepad (on a day off…) and am trying out three columns rather than two. that then enables me to add a few more things in such as recent comments, books, music… etc. i still have the template with two columns so i can switch back. what do you think?…. which do you prefer?…. do you care?… or should i just get a life?….

looking forward to the big london champions league clash tonight between arsenal and chelsea – come on the blues!!!!

    P.S. glad to see sigur ros (only one ‘s’!) is making an appearance in your 2nd column! their later album entitled () with beautiful packaging is also excelent. very good for chilled worship.

    3 columns works better I think – less to scroll down 🙂 and fits nicely on my monitor

    enjoy the game tonight…
    cheers

    Three columns is good (but I’m kind of in the “don’t care” category). The red background with light blue links is very hard to see on my monitor (I’m using a 12″ iBook). Maybe a different colour for the links?

  8. jonny

    the links are blue?!… computers eh… i use a powerbook and they look cool (and grey) – weird that an ibook is different seeing as it’s the same company. i’ll look at it on a few other peoples computers…

    YOU BLUES!!!!!!!!!!!

    Might just be my eyes. Now that you mention it, the links are grey(ish blue). I still find the contrast difficult. Maybe I should be wearing my glasses!

    Don’t give a monkeys Jonny, but well
    done the blues.

    Yep, I’m fond of the 3 columns… its almost convinced me to move my personal stuff onto typepad. livejournal’s become a bit of a hassel lately.

    Hi Jonny,
    I don’t mind 2 or 3 columns. What I *would* like to change is the fact that when I read your site on my PDA (using AvantGo), I have to scroll through your mahoosive linkroll before I get to the content.
    BTW, this would be a problem for disabled people using a screen reader as well. The solution is to put a “skip to content” link at the top of the page, or order the page so that the content comes first. See this page for more details:
