[PD] Editing CSS style, make pd.info better? [WAS: puredata.info site design provocation]

[Pedro Lopes]

I agree with Marco, 720px is usually a good in-between, to make it perfect
for ALL mobile only really by doing a mobile version.

I prefer left-alignment usually (call me left wing maybe!), but that's
really a matter of personal taste. Probably center alignment is more
overall matching.

best,
pedro
