New WordPress theme

Didn’t mean to make you change your theme!!! If you really wanted to use the other theme there’s a simple line of css that could be added to it that would add the max-width setting and limit it’s maximum width. Personally I wouldn’t worry much about IE6 not supporting that option, It’s an old browser these days and it’s got many issues besides the lack of min-width and max-width!

The whole issue of fixed vs flexible always sparks up a lot of debate on the web, one other issue that affects it is that Opera, Firefox 3, IE7(& as well as the next version of Safari browsers all support zooming of layouts rather than just text resizing, so it kind of makes the benefits of flexible widths less useful. I do tend to stick with fixed with sites targeted at a 1024px width, but for flexible sites then I’d use a min-width of 760px and a max width of about 1200px, this is so that it would fit between 800px and 1280px screen resolutions. Many people do use larger than 1280px these days so the max-width setting stops widths getting too big.
