The latter is somewhat suspect because it specifies a negative offset. Just haven't spent enough time digging into CSS to figure out how to do it in a less clunky way. What happens if you set  BLOCKQUOTE { margin-left: 0px } ? Can you tell what changed specifically to reduce the worldwide game day info from 2-3 words/line to 1-2 words/line?As for window size, the problem with blockquotes seems to show up with window sizes up to about 700 (that's the point at which the center column reaches its minimal width). I doubt I'm the only one who has problems with this. Although most of the time the layout is tolerable. It's just those rare days when there is more than one "skinny" blockquote (like happened on July 23rd) which make me go AAAARGH!Michael, I do appreciate all the effort you've put into this, and I understand you have other priorities as well. BSF's experience with IE shows that my "simple" solution may not be as simple as I thought (although I still cannot figure out why the heck it wouldn't work on any CSS-compliant browser!) If and when you do dig yourself out from under your other projects, I would appreciate if you could have a look at the more general problem of how to optimize the overall layout so there's less wasted space -  as befits the front page of a news site. Heck, maybe you could even come up with a separate "economical" styleset that crams as much info into as little space as possible. Would be also useful for people who want to check EN World from other platforms as well. Much more so than updating button colors on the fly anyway... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
