Liquid design, usually - I try to cover everything from my 240x320 XDA to my

It's pretty straightforward - you just have to use sensibly ordered markup
and a stylesheet for positioning in

Kind of IT related question: what's difference between a dedicated IP and a

Not really a downgrade. There shouldn't be any effect on performance to
the naked eye, as long as the hardware can handle it (not that shared
IP's require better / faster hardware). It suprises me that it's taken
your hosting provider this long to make the switch, as it's less of a
headache

Second that, mailwasher will do just what you seem to want Maverick. I was
using it on my other box ( till the power supply blew up the other night)
