Perhaps I underestimated the sidebar...
Now that I’ve started to spend some time on my site capturing links and other tidbits, I’m realizing that my sidebar needs to be wider. There simply isn’t much room over there. I bumped the font size down by a pixel–any more than that and it doesn’t look decent. But frankly, I may revert that as well. I think I’m going to have to expand the area, and then I need to revisit how that affects the width of my code blocks. It might be worth the trade-off though.
