I ended up using percentages for my layout boxes and I’m now wondering if that was the best decision for a fluid layout.

Then again, starting with the [basic theme](http://www.visual-assault.org/wpTheme_basic/index.html) is really almost like starting with nothing (in that it's stripped down to the core). @Todd: Hey I'm sorry to not have met you at An Event Apart either. Yeah I'm even more hyped on the One True Layout than ever now that I've started using it here. It's easier than it seems when you read about it. @Dan: Thats really interesting, I wouldn’t have thought that starting from a static template would be easier with WP.

I too am in the midst of re-designing my own site using the One True Layout techniques (although my re-design is going on behind a curtain - not all of us are as brave - hehehe). Like you, It took Eric's presentation in order for the technique to "jive" with me. (I am sorry that we did not meet at AEA - I would have liked to have gotten to meet you - having read your site for awhile now) I have layed out my site using the layout style of OTL, but I am not going to have to use the negative margins in my case. So, my site will be layed out for it's future use and not in the new re-design. I can definitely see the flexibility it will afford though! Anyways, on with the show... I am eager to see where you go with your site...

'Organic' websites are an interesting thing to watch! Using this method of building up a site can really show what's goin on in the head of the person building it! It's a fantastic way to pick up new techniques and to learn some things you may not have had the opportunity to learn had you designed and built everything up front. I'm also using Wordpress. I actually found it easier to contruct a flat site and then add the WP code, gradually replacing the static content. I found that trying to mash templates together for what I wanted turned out to be a mess; it was better for me to go from ground up without templates. That could just be an "I don't know what I'm doing with WP yet" thing though. ;) I'm keeping an eye out!

Honestly it was a bit painful to figure out how to hack up the templates to work the way we wanted. After that, we used it for a client in a more traditional blog type setup and it went a bit smoother. So far on Web-Graphics it's been a breeze, partially because I'm familiar with WordPress now, and partially because it's completely blogish. Ems are a neat way to size your layout (meaning specify layout boxes with em width) because when a user resizes the font size, the entire layout scales with it (sort of like Opera's zoom sizing). I'm not sure how this all plays into fluid layouts, mostly because I just really not a fan of fluid layouts - but that's just me.

Nate - thats a good question. I think we'll have to see what happens and use our best judgement. I'm inclined to say we won't be swayed by popular opinion, but frankly if there's good rationale, we're likely to follow suit. Anyways, thanks again for the kind words.

It will be fun to watch the process. It will also be fun to see how community-swayed you guys are (i.e. if you make a piece of the design live and people don't like it, what will you do?). I'm sad to see the old layout go, but I'm anticipating the new web-graphics.com. -Nate Nate,

I've been sitting on MoveableType for too long, ignoring the mounting problems. I toyed once with TextPattern and WordPress, but didn't go any further. It'll be neat to see how it goes for you, see if it can get my off my butt as well. Nate, I’m most interested in seeing how the switch goes.
