When your blog page is displayed inside a window not much wider than
that of the pictures in the blog entries, the navigation bar will get
pushed out of the window right border and be invisible.

It affects the handling of horizontal overflow. With left-to-right,
overflow are pushed towards the right. Thus, as in your blog page, the
right navigation bar is the first victim of overflow. However with
right-to-left, the right navigation bar won't be the first overflow
victim because overflow are pushed towards the left.
