Well, this is it! This is the first horizontal blog design that I've seen. It may not be the first horizontal blog ever, but I haven't seen it done before. So, sort of like those who climb mountains because they are there, I just had to try and make this, just to see if I could.
Some credit has to go to Dave Shea and Molly Holzschlag -- the authors of The Zen of CSS design -- that's where my idea first came from.
It was challenging, it was fun, and I hope you enjoy reading from left-to-right for just a little while.
For more about this setup and layout, see the next post -- it's over there to the right, instead of just below here.

No really, Ogre, this is very cool! Almost as if another dimension has been added to blogging... OK, call it a half-dimension. I'm working out the ergonomic implications such as discriminate use of the mouse scroll wheel (chum bucket near by).
N.B.: Don't take that as an insult, bud! It's me with the problem here. I'm getting used to it already! This is new territory, be darn proud! :-)

Yes, we have cookies! My goal has been reached!
Thanks for the comments -- I've been trying and trying to find a way to interpret the scroll mouse to go sideways, but I simply cannot find a way to do it!

Cool... just like the olden days of using microfiche.
..like visiting the amusement park ride that spins and the floor drops out. *grin*
nicely done.

OK, this is just, well...hmmm...let's just say "It's wide" and leave it at that.

Diagonal. Hmmm... Now that one really WILL be a challenge!

Nice! What a cool and seemingly original idea!
I kinda like it... you got any donuts here?
