Earlier in this chapter, we looked at many fantastic and innovative blog examples. Gawker is a nice clean blog that is used by many surfers around the world, but we will go with the layout presented on the TESCO blog as it has a variety of features. This will serve as an excellent foundation for more advanced blogs.
You probably noticed that all the blogs had a fixed width and weren't fluid, this is a very common layout for blogs. Though this isn't written in stone and a fluid layout can be used, tabloid style websites suit this fixed width layout, we will also be using this type of layout for our blog.
Fluid spans the full width of the browser and fixed width does, but only to a set limit that varies from framework to framework. This limit is an industry standard.
