Changes to Main Page due to fluid layout
As I mentioned here, this section is intended to discuss individual changes we might need to make to the main page in order to prepare for the roll-out of fluid layouts.

First, there's the issue of the right column. The column width is shrinking from 330px to 300px. So, we'll need to make sure all our current content displays correctly at that new smaller width. The left column (the main section of the page) will no longer have a fixed width, but will vary depending on the display resolution of the reader's monitor or browser window. The right column width remains at a static 300px, but if the main page is viewed with a lower resolution display (such as one found on a tablet), the right column is actually moved below the left column. This is a problem, considering we have some important information and links currently in the right column, such as the Wiki's 'About us' section.

Another matter to consider is the main page's slider gallery. The width of images used in the gallery is and will remain fixed at 670 px wide. On larger displays, this will create a very large area of empty space on either side of the slider image. Unfortunately there is no way to fix this presently, so it might be worth considering removing the slider image gallery altogether.

That's all I've got right now --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 04:54, November 19, 2013 (UTC)
