You guys have funky web browsers. According to the coding for this page, it should be force-fitting threads to your resolution rather than scrolling sideways. It also splits the thread after 25 posts, which means, of course, that I need to post a 51st comment to see if the trend continues.
On the subject of professional blogging, however, all you need to do is get a following big enough that a) advertisers will pay for space in your blog, and b) readers will pay for a deluxe edition so they don't have to see the ads. Unfortunately, you can't do this on LJ, which is one of the reasons I publish my blog on my own site.
