    I'm picking a theme for my wordpress blog and I noticed that some blog themes are fixed width and some fluid width.

    Whats is the difference between the two is the fluid theme better for
    cross browser compatibility.

    i say just get fixed....there's no right answer, but I like fixed widths and won't use fluids.

    Fluid will change with the browser resolution. But most people run 1024x768 or whatever it is, so just use a fixed at about 900px

    Fluid widths will change as browser window changes in size, whereas fixed ones will remain the same regardless of the window size.
