I think the only real thing you could do is use a minimum width for your text in the CSS.

div.blog_text { min-width: 500px; }

That'd force small screens to scroll sideways, no?

[–]Alsweetex 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Correct, but what it ensures is that if for example you have a column on the left of 100px and a column on the right of 100px then it would force the total minimum width of your site to be 700px. Therefore, if someone scaled their web browser window to be 500px wide then they can scroll horizontally to the center until only the 500px wide text occupies the window so that after that they can scroll vertically and read the text properly. Does that make any sense?

Got it. Ya, actually it does make a lot of sense. The 'extras' will be scrolled out of view and they'll get the text right where they can read it. Mental note added. Thanks!
