I recommend that you check out Yahoo YUI CSS Grid Builder and the Yahoo CSS Grids Library for examples to help you set up your blog's layout structure.

I actually want to switch mine from 2-3 columns (to keep the ads in their own space and a few other reasons) but am struggling with the code to do that. Do you have a recommendation as to where to get help with that. I want to do it myself because that’s the only way I’ll learn.

This is a good issue Lorelle. Many prefer 2 columns or 1 column and they almost fight about their desires. 3 columns are not bad … not even 4. It’s my own opinion, I choose my layout. But it must be fluid width. Like you said, there are people who have 20 inch monitors ( that includes me ) but this doesn’t means that we should opt for a fixed width too large. For those on 800×600, or 1024 ,because that is the most used resolution, it could be hard to view a website.. and scroll horizontally. I’m currently trying to theme a Sandbox, from ( almost ) scratch and I want 4 column. 2 navigation columns on the left and right and 2 center column for headlines ( I’m developing an online newspaper ) and I don’t know if with sandbox I can manage to create 4 columns.

But this layout is for a big website with plenty of space to be occupied. Smaller blogs, like personal ones, or like Lorelle’s blog, don’t need more than 2 columns, or 3. 1 column is absolutely minimalistic and is for podcasting or journals. But opinions may vary…
