Something I find really strange is that a lot of people who put emphasis on Web Standards suddenly found their way back to non-liquid, 800px, centered design. I am wondering why that is?
The majority of pages that show up in this group for review display some kind of centered design with 800px (or less) width. Not only that, but a lot of pages that deal with web standards or CSS do the same: http://www.alistapart.com/ http://www.css-blog.com/ http://www.webstandardsawards.com/ http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/164/164.css&page=0 http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/163/163.css&page=0 http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/162/162.css&page=0 ... (you can go down the entire list of css Zengarden) Can anybody clear this one up for me? I find this amazing: when I browse the web and come across one of those pages I don't even have to look at the code: it's almost 90% certain that the site was done in CSS.
