When making Templates for Joomla/WP

[Urban Publications]

Hi

When you make your own template for Joomla/WP is it best to stick to a particular width for the sidebar something like 250px or does it not really matter?

Thanks

Doesn't matter, as all sites will be different, just make sure all the widths equal upto the wrapper width e.g.

wrapper = 960px
left-column = 700px;
sidebar = 260px;

If you add any borders, remember to take the border width away from the other column e.g. 2px border on sidebar, reduce left-column to 698px
