Footers Go Wide And Deep
You may find that title somewhat enigmatic. The answer to the puzzle is staring you in the face but, if you are not a frequent visitor, you could be pardoned for not realizing. The StayGoLinks blog has now adopted a three column format. That is one item. The other is that we have adopted the practice used in another SMM blog, BPWrap, of having what were there called Foolish Footers. Perhaps a better description is fact-filled footers.
We have always believed in giving a good user experience to those with 800 X 600 resolution screens. However from the traffic data to the SMM blogs, such visitors are increasingly rare.
We will continue to show the content on the left and have only promotional materials on the right. The About Us kind of information has all been put in the footer so that even with an 800 px width screen, most of what you are looking for will be there without horizontal scrolling.
We hope you like these changes. There was a good discussion at the Cre8asite Forums on How Wide Is Your Website Design. Most people seem to have moved to a similar design width. We would appreciate any feedback on these design changes since we always aim to keep improving. Why not let us know what you think in the comments below.

The trick, if there is such a thing, is variety. Make certain you collect a steady and varied collection of links
