Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera.

I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility
but I figured I'd post to let you know. The layout look great though!

Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Kudos
