Hi Kristarella,
At the time I set up my blog, I had a website company design my header and footer for me, according to a size that they decided on. I am assuming that its size cannot be changed, but I am not sure.

I did try following the steps in this post to see if it would do anything, but it did not help.

Is there a way to make my header and footer comply with the full-width framework?

Thanks so much.

I think more than 1024px is not preferable, but there is also a lot of talk about adaptive web design at the moment where you can accomodate several browser sizes and change the layout accordingly...The widths you need depend on your content. 600+300px sounds fine to me, that is a combination I use reasonably often.

Freight Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:15:26 +0000 http://www.kristarella.com/?p=3491#comment-142399 I have a question, what is the correct total width for the page? Should it be 900px or 960px or something else? I want to have a 2 columns blog with 1 sidebar on the right, so my thinking is something like content: 600px + sidebar:300px (for the 900px option) or content: 660px + sidebar: 300px (for the 960px). Thanks. I have a question, what is the correct total width for the page? Should it be 900px or 960px or something else?

I could possibly troubleshoot it if I saw your site with the gaps on the nav in action, but not really out of thin air. Randy — I’m not sure what else I can tell you other than what is in the post.
