This is one of the finest themes ever. I'm more of a Wordpress user than an administrator, but if I ran a Wordpress, I'd use this theme. Those first two listed features... "Three fluid columns that adjust accordingly as the window is resized." and "Scalable font-size that adjusts on the browser zoom." ...are just wonderful, and true. This theme flows beautifully, and is certainly ready for the geriatric crews that I work-with... with their failing eyesight. I encourage the aged to adjust their default browser font-sizes to whatever they like, or use control-mousewheel to size things up. This theme and the CSS behind it... is perfectly suited for that. It uses percentages instead of any hard-coded pixel sizes, and that's just wise, future-ready thinking. Its ready for screen resolutions from cellphone sized... all the way up to the 5000 pixel-widths of Norad screens (see WarGames, the movie). I stole a "save entire webpage" of THIS very webpage... just so I could have a handy example of a properly-fluid webpage to show to locals who I try to teach the importance of such... to. I didn't fill out the form or download it in any classic sense... sorry. But, I suggest others do as I did, and run this webpage both online and offline... and do some browser window drag-resizing and see how nicely this webpage re-flows and always tries to keep all three columns in full view. Try your control-mousewheel font-resizing on it... see how it STILL tries to keep all the content in view? Take notice!!! That's just FINE FINE webwork! Show it off... tell the MANY MANY Wordpress pilots of it, and teach them about flow. My congrats to the author(s) of this theme. Its just gorgeous and it is maybe... the best theme I have ever seen. Its maybe not the prettiest, your color/font preferences may vary. Its easy to change its "look" later... because this theme even uses the "cascading" part of cascading style sheets (CSS). What a rarity, and how perfectly applied. WELL DONE, ZIALINGUA!! Larry "Wingnut" Wendlandt Bessemer MI USA Hi! This is one of the finest themes ever. I’m more of a WordPress user than an administrator, but if I ran a WordPress, I’d use this theme.

Those first two listed features…

“Three fluid columns that adjust accordingly as the window is resized.”
and
“Scalable font-size that adjusts on the browser zoom.”

…are just wonderful, and true. This theme flows beautifully, and is certainly ready for the geriatric crews that I work-with… with their failing eyesight.
