First of, I like the new look, well done! :) The problem I have, though, is that akregator now shows a lot of posts two or even three times. Not all, but quite some. They usually appear a bit later a second time in the artikel list. Of course this might be an akregator bug, but I haven't seen it before (Using Akregator 1.2.5, KDE3, for ages actually).

This faux-page thing is a dreadful design idea in terms of usability and accessibility -- unless you are super skilled at CSS. I tried simply removing "width: 810px;" but then on large displays the text flows to the right into a new off-color background. The other thing about Planet KDE has always been the huge list of contributors at the front, which is also bad for accessibility -- annoying on my PDA and dreadful for the blind using screen readers. After some more tweaks I gave up on this particular CSS. *However*, if you look at my blog, I do have an image bar, but it actually expands with the width of the browser:introducing minimal horizontal distortion in all but extreme cases -- which is still preferable to text running off the side. Also, my annoying stuff is actually at the bottom of the page but brought up as a left column via CSS.   http://reagle.org/joseph/blog/ For Planet, I recommend something like this:   http://open.wikiblogplanet.com/ Stick the KDE gears/logo on the upper-right, all the contributors are actually at the bottom of the page, and their CSS is valid except for misspelling "gray". It flexibly accommodates any page size. ]] This is what I suggested in an email:

It looks like you have a newline where Firebug doesn't like it. On this page, it's in digg_bodytext. HTH! Oh, BTW, Firebug reports an ‘unterminated string literal’.

A quick perusal has it looking fine by my eye. What kind of changes/enhancements need to be made? So what, exactly, are you looking for in CSS and HTML help?
