Changing blog width?

Post by rj »

I have the blog running with wrap and have been told that fixing it at 800 or 1024 makes it more attractive. I am not so sure but I was wondering if there is an easy way to have a button in the side bar that could control that?
I have seen a few that have a NARROW/WIDE button.

Thanx

Hi!

Who told you that? Fluid designs are much better than fixed ones, IMHO. They are much more accessible and are better usable for people with small screens and larger screens.

A fixed vs. fluid design requires different CSS structures, then you could offer a button to switch the user stylesheet.

IMHO it's not worth the effort, stay with fluid design.
