New Three-Column Layout

As you've doubtless noticed (unless you're an RSS subsriber), we're rearranging the site's layout, by splitting into three columns vs. the original two.

The goal is to put more material "above the fold" (i.e., above the scroll-down part of the screen).

Conceptually, the new left-hand column contains information about "Adam Smith, Esq." itself, including all the archival links.  The right-hand column is "other stuff," such as ads, the blogroll, etc.  And of course the middle column is the heart and soul of "Adam Smith, Esq."

At the moment, the  site width is fixed at 900 px, so if  your browser window is narrower than that you'll have to scroll horizontally--big bummer, but we're working on it.

Our goal is to make the site expandable so that it will fill to fit your browser window.
