Some long overdue updates to this site, timothyrchurch.com, are finally complete. The biggest and most needed fix was for the layout: the right column would overlap the content of the left column on smaller resolution screens (or smaller windows). In order to fix this, I used the “holy grail” css technique from A List Apart. Other updates included improvements to the projects and profile pages, as well as removing some pages that have never been implemented (resume and portfolio).
Keep your eyes out for improvements to the homepage (lifestream) soon.
