This website is wider than my screen
Some people have reported that when viewing our website, that the right-hand edge is being cut off, and they have to use the horizontal scroll bars to see the items in the right-hand column.
We have noticed this only seems to occur in Google Chrome, and appears to be to do with a default setting in Chrome.
The suggested solution is to click on the little spanner icon in the top tight-hand corner of Chrome, and next to the "Zoom" menu option, click the "-" button and reduce the Zoom to 100%. You can see the setting in question in the screenshot to the left.
That should resolve the issue.
Note: If you are experiencing the issue in another browser, each browser has a similar setting you should be able to change.
K2 Split Content
K2 is an incredibly powerful and flexible extension that allows for stunning control of your Joomla content. This module is based on the standard K2 content display module. Rather than display all items with a category/tag, this module displays content that is associated with the currently viewed K2 item.

Website Upgrade
As with my laptop, I have a policy of giving my website a make-over every two years. The previous revision was introduced in early 2009, and has received many positive comments from visitors to the website.
Having made the decision to integrate the web design and web hosting units of my business more closely under the Marathon Software banner, it was obvious that the content of the website would need updating. While the previous iteration was clean and functional, it made sense to adopt a new "look and feel" to take advantage of advances in website technology.
