Vision for future structure of this blog:
“Front: page looks much like it does now, but with only “chops” or extracts, functioning more like an index. Allows greater number of posts to be linked on the default landing page. Retain two/three column format.
Detail pages should absorb selected sidebar content into an “inline sidebar”, like an extended pullquote, or a “resource box”. Wipe out actual css sidebars (retain only on front/index) and make content wider to increase info density without creating a wall of text. Inline sidebars and other methods will help manage text flow.
