My opinion on ALA’s redesign

Yeah, I’m weighing into the debate on the ALA redesign. I have to say I agree with Jon and Jeremy regarding the fixed 1024px width. My little 2¢; to add to this discussion is that I think more designers should consider the wonderous world of CSS switching based on browser width (see Rammstein or the slightly better implementation on Drink-drive-lose.com’s Ad Challenge). Using this technique, users can view your site at their most comfortable screen resolution and you can still have a nicely designed page for them (fixed or liquid… or both). Can you say zoom layouts? I knew you could.
