It would be better without the frames. Or remove the height
restriction on what you have. One of my screens is big and it is
irritating to see the frame on left so short. Be rid of that max
height or any on that.


On the page about William van Amber, there is no need to repeat
so often the text "WWvA Diary" in the navigation frame.

The borders and paddings and margins need attention. There is no
grace between the text and left border, the nav text is jammed up
against the border.

Don't use px units for font-sizes. Use %. Set the text to 100% at
the body level. If you want to go down a bit for the navigation,
maybe 85 or 90%.

Some quick and haphazard things: i got it to look better to my
eye by changing yours to

div#leftbit {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: .5em;
width: 12em;
border-right: solid 5px #ccc;
}

and

div#moststuff {

color: black;
margin: 0em 0 5em 13em;
padding: .5em;

}

and completely removing your

#all

And now, I must stop.
