After changing the text justification, it made it obvious that the padding between the comment boxes and the actual paragraph text wasn’t big enough. So, I set out to change things. At the same time, I wanted to make sure that, in the future, I could easily modify what I’d done.
In doing this, I ended up causing all sorts of layout problems. However, I did manage to fix things within an hour or so, and everything’s looking better now. It just goes to show how much of an affect one little thing can have on everything else.
Later: Looking at the layout prompted me to make some more overall changes to the way that the two panels (personal history and journal entries) are layed out.
