You are right. The site is not liquid, it’s elastic. Resize your browser text, and you’ll see the liquidness in action (using FireFox or any other capable browser).
However, view the site using IE 6 PC and resize your browser window to get the liquid version.
You are both wrong. The site is liquid. It has a very small distance between min-width and max-width, but if you resize your browser window in Firefox you can see the effect.
There is a difference between an elastic design and a liquid design.
Elastic design responds to resizing of text, whereas, liquid design responds to resizing of browser windows. Blog9 does both, depending on the browser you are in - I know I built it!
this site is not liquid…

@ Terry: Yes, I read what you wrote, my point was just that Blog9 wouldn’t be on this site if it wasn’t liquid, whether it is elastic or not.
