Hi all,
I've narrowed the problem with the text going off the page down to one 
element in my stylesheet:
p 		{margin-left:				5%;
		margin-right:				15%}

After removing (or commenting out) this line, the margins stop going 
crazy and work fine.  I've put a copy of the old stylesheet up at 
http://lordofthemoon.com/oldstyles.css and have commented out the 
offending lines in my main stylesheet.  Does anybody have any idea why 
this is happening?
I decided to narrow the margins to make the text easier to read and 
thought that using CSS rather than tables would make for a less 
complex page that degraded nicely.  I don't think that I've ever encounted 
this problem before.  Can someone help sort it out?

Thanks,
Raj.
