The page "In Search of Corydoras boesemani" has horizontal scroll bars. This makes it awkward to read.
My screen resolution is 1280 x 1024.

I think the problem is the images. Perhaps stack the images that are four-in-a-row in a 2x2 block instead.

It's ok on my computer, but that's probably because it's a 1440 x 900 screen.

None of the pictures in themselves are big, but I think the row of four pictures make it too wide for smaller screens (and I don't really think we should expect all users to have wide screens).

I'm sure a bit of re-arranging will make it both look nice, and work on smaller screens.

Actually, my laptop, my second screen at work (connecting to the laptop) and the desktop screen I have are all 1440 x 900 - it seems like the only decent screens you get these days if you don't want to pay a small fortune - the desktop screen was about the cheapest we could find at the UK "large electronics store" - I'm sure I could have got one for a little bit less on mail order, but I was in a hurry to get a new one...

It occurred to me that my laptop is 1440x900 as well. Silly me. However, I do not normally have my windows maximized.

I am still laying out that article, thanks for the feedback. It looks fine on my multiple monitor wall, but I am sure it looks silly in the real world!

Bearing in mind that I didn't have a problem to begin with, I can only say that "Its' still OK".
