Perhaps many use the menu on the left because they have a layout which is
not fluid and the user cannot read the last part on the right if he or she
resizes the window.
But what is best if I want to have 3 columns which are not absolute
positioned, one of which containing photos, another for the menu, and the
third being the main column?
Is it better to place the other 2 on the same side, either on the left or
on the right and then on which side?
Or is it better to place one on the left and the other on the right and in
this case on which side is it better to place the menu and on which side is
it better to place the photos?
