 * I’m pulling my hair out….how do I go about setting the width of my blog to a 
   minimum width of 800px and a max of 1200px? Is there a setting in WordPress that
   can be changed? If not, any ideas? TIA

 * In your stylesheet. IN you outer container (whatever it is), put in:
 * `min-width:800px;
    max-width:1200px;
 * This will not work for IE, though. You have to add a conditional comment for 
   IE, and place this inside:
 * `width:expression(((document.compatMode && 
    document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat')?
   document.documentElement.clientWidth :  document.body.clientWidth)  > 1218 ? "
   1200px" : (((document.compatMode &&  document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat') ? document.
   documentElement.clientWidth :  document.body.clientWidth) < 1024 ? "800px" : "
   95%"));
 * That’ll do ya.

 * doodlebee you are a genius!
    Thanks for saving my blog (vikingprincess.net – 
   currently under constuction)
 * IE6 was driving me crazy… Nothing was looking the same as in FF/Moz/Opera. I 
   haven’t been a programmer for years and had forgotten how crazy MS software can
   be to work with. I haven’t done CSS (or even really HTML) before, so I am learning
   as I go along…It doesn’t help that IE is doing its own thing – I keep thinking
   it’s me making mistakes.
 * For the record: I tried 3 other suggested IE ‘hacks’ from elsewhere on the web.
   Yours was the only really good one for creating a dynamic (e.g. completely resizable)
   3 column theme.
    Thanks again! x
