A few years ago, fluid widths were all the rage. Accessibility guys loved them, and it was cool to grab the corner of your browser window and see all that content slide around.

Heck, my original Joomla template tutorial published at joomla.org even showed you how to make them. We even sold templates that had the more advanced "jello layout" (fixed side columns and fluid middle).

But now, at Joomlashack, we don't make fluid templates. I firmly believe they are misplaced on today's web.
