It is a term used in typography.
Think of a block of text as you would a piece of fine tapestry. On your
home page, "squint' your eyes at that text block and you'll see the
rivers cascading down the tapestry. Still don't see it? Take a screen
shot of the text-block and literally rotate in photoshop so that is
upside down-- and you'll see the rivers. Justified text is sometimes
quite nice in print media when done by a typographer really knows her
stuff. I would not attempt to stay awake nights waiting for Web software
to catch up. In the meantime, reset to flush left/scatter right. CSS:
text-align: left; This will dry up the "rivers" and the text will be
easier to read. A different font stack and honoring user default rather
than your personal preference could also be a nice touch, too.
Gotcha! Thanks, and a HAY!
Bob
