Hey just to let you know, in Opera 7.10 the "Printer friendly version of this page" appears on a new line. I'm running in 1024x800 and it wasnt' doing this earlier today. Odd. Anyway I also get about a 5px margin around the entire page, so maybe if this was removed it'd clear it up. It's not that much of an issue, as everyone running under 1024 will get it anyway. But I thought I'd tell ya.

Yeah, I don't run with my browser windows maximized usually (I run at 1600x1200). Right now I get the Amazon wish list and the printer-friendly tab on a second line. If you'll notice, I even made it so that they overlap a little when they wrap, so it's even more like "real" tabs

Ah yes, I do see that actually. Quite nifty me thinks. Good work

Thanks
I'd like it if they looked a little more like actual "tabs" though...

The site really does look better in Mozilla. Too bad I'm still going to continue using IE, along with 95% of everyone else out there on the internet.
I'm a fan of tabbed layouts myself, I like the way they look and the ease of navigation, when done right anyway. I think it was a good idea you killed the 3 column layout, to better utilize the space on the screen, though your tabs do look kinda funky with multiple rows (though less so in Moz) because the top row being longer than the bottom is visually offputting. You're right in the sense that if you could get it behaving like "real" tabs, where the active tab is highlighted and shuffled to the bottom row, it would look more appealing.

What I'd like to do is get rid of enough tabs that it won't need to wrap. I can probably put my resume, my Amazon wish list, and the link to "email me" on my "About me" page, and if I change "Printer-friendly version of this page" to just "Printer-friendly" I think I'll have it.

Now that looks much nicer.

You need to set the background colour of your site to white - my g/f has a custom background colour set in her browser so your site ends up looking a bit odd.
