Like how would they keep everything in sections, without it fragmenting too
much? If it could easily be made liquid, why didn't they then? I /think/ I
understand the concept of liquid layouts. I don't think there is much to
understand, is there?

Yes, excuse me. I actually knew that, but as you suspect, I do not know
that much at this stage. I did mean fixed width, but I did not know that
you could use AP Divs with liquid layouts. My personal experience is
limited to centralised fixed width divs so far.
