I'm assuming the twitter feeds are the ones followed by the cliptheapex account?
Not exactly.
There are about 10 different lists and the chat one just contains those accounts which tend to do live race updates.
Can you have a sidebar on both sides of the page? I've always wondered why the majority of web-sites are in a 4:3 (or thereabouts) ratio when the majority of people now use widescreens in a 16:9 or 16:10 ratio, so about a third of the screen is just empty.
The reason for a fixed width is twofold:
1. It allows the layout to be controlled which is required when you're dealing with tables and pages such as the circuit page, also the old home page.
2. Reading from left to right on a widescreen monitor from edge to edge is uncomfortable - you shouldn't have to physically move your head and neck to read. There's a reason why the BBC and other major sites are the same width as here. It's the same reason why newspapers write in columns, rather from edge to edge.
The actual width chosen is due to the number of 1024 resolution monitors which still exist - I would have preferred to have gone up to 1200 or so but a poll on it showed that some were still using 1024.
Unfortunately 1000px is a bit too narrow for three columns, with a sidebar either side.
At this point in time I'm stumped.
The various ideas I had just didn't work for one reason or another
This was one of them suggested by Mike...
But problems with the code prevented that.
