It also tends to make both you and the principle seem less
authoritative. Why should a newbie think they have a decent chance of
pulling off a truly fluid design -- or think that it's even of value to
do so -- if the person they look to for advice can't do it?
Something is amiss. Maybe fluid design is not as easy as just saying
"make your design fluid", in which case people having discouraged from
it deserve a bit of sympathy.
Incidentally, that page has some real width problems when viewed in
Safari: fully half the page is off the right edge of my browser window
(which is roughly 700px wide at the moment). It appears the search
(Zoek?) box may be responsible, as it's hanging out by its lonesome on
the right, floating in a rather wide sea of blue.
