If you use the container class for a layout with blueprint-css, you end up with a maximum width of 950px. I have a layout that needs to exceed this so I’m wondering why Blueprint uses this default?
<div class="container">
Blueprint chooses this because a little under 1,000 pixels is the currently accepted ‘safe’ width for a fixed-width website with today’s common monitor resolutions. 800×600 is rare enough to be ignored, but 1024×800 is a big enough segment of the userbase to be accommodated.
It’s 950 instead of 1024 because browser scrollbars etc. take away a little screen real estate.
