Re: First Website Revision

So I'll admit..I was a little intrusive, I looked at your HTML, CSS and a little of the Javascript (i too use dynamic drive and have previously used the Accordion one).

I believe the issue you are having is that the majority of your objects are resizing expect for the ones in the main content container. It seems to me that while the outside box changes with the broswer the about our team and blog posts does not. For example, below is your CSS for the blog posts:

.recentBlogPosts {
padding: 10px;
border: 3px solid #000000;
width: 290px;
}

While you made most of the things percentage based (or rather, comments out the pixel based size and added on the percentage. Which, by the way is exactly what I would have done) you might have forgotten this one. Also, while it is a little easier to figure out pixels (because you can "hard code" them in to get the exact look you want, percentages take a little more, shall we say, experimentation to get just right. For example right now your sidebar is fairly wide. (The CSS is below)

.sidebar {
width: 17%;

Therefore the navbar seems fairly stretched out. Within percentage based, everything plays off one another, so you have to consider elements in relation. I am unfamiliar with CSS3 Media Queries
