> On a meta note; would you consider adding a left margin to your site? Reading from the very edge of my screen feels somewhat strange.

What!? I love the fact that it's left-aligned. That's the way text should be!

Alignment and margin are different concepts. You can be left-aligned and still have a comfortable margin.

True enough, but considering most websites these days consider "a comfortable margin" to mean "4-6 inches", I'm delighted to see a site which actually lines things up close to the left side of my monitor. Like I said, that's how text should be.

Unless you have a wide screen display and have to physically move your head to read the text.

Comrade, we have invented tiling window managers. You can simply move the window

E: I still like margins though. A visual delineation from the window border is nice.
