I just noticed that the page layout expands when the browser window expands. When that happens all text in the center column expands too. On a wide screen, of something like 2000 pixels wide, that makes the lines of text very long, and a bit harder to read. For example, on my screen the text lines are roughly 12 inches long, and at that resolution the fonts are small.
You might consider putting a wrapper around the page so that it's only expands so far, maybe 970 pixels. CSS would be "max-width: 970px" if I remember right. Also, blue font text for body copy is not as easy on the eye as darker text, something between black (color code #000000) and charcoal (#333333).
Just a few thoughts.
m,
I do not agree with your consideration.
I do believe the page works ok, and it is wrong to fix this issue on the page (css, as you point out).
I do use a widescreen 1900px.
A page must expand or shrink depending on the screen, or to be more precise on the rendering size for the browsing window.
Unfortunately for widescreen users sometimes the fonts are small, and indeed it is difficult to read very long lines.
Nonetheless I recommend you to zoom (I use keyboard Control, plus mouse wheel, to zoom in and out). Increasing the font is great to fit your needs.
Another workaround is to resize your navigation window to a smaller size.
Consider that when a page limits the width, it is like disabling your widescreen (non sense).
When full screen option is enabled, I can see sometimes big white spaces on both sides. Like 20% white space, + 60% content, + 20% white space. Painful, and this effect can also be achieved just resizing the windows to the same width. The whitespace sides are in this scenario parts of your desktop (outside your main window).
By the way, maximizing and with a zoom out I see this effect. I attach an image to illustrate.
