Mobile friendly liquid layout

This layout works well on most devices. I think it's fair to say that you can do a lot with it. I also discovered a small, but annoying, technical anomaly with webkit browsers while creating it. Using the example below, If I had set the #text element to 'float:left;', this element would have shifted beneath the #picture element. Given the webkit browser is used in many mobile browsers, this becomes more important.

One thing you'll notice from this layout is that I haven't done much with the fonts, but that's just to keep the code slim.

See demo.

Using overflow hidden to better align text and images into columns

I can't take credit for this. Credit must go to Soh Tanaka for this blog post 
http://www.sohtanaka.com/web-design/css-overflow-property-quick-tip/

I just tweak it a little so that it would work well within the context of this blog. Essentially it is a nice simple way of aligning text next to images without wrapping.

See demo.

<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Overflow Hidden</title>
<style type="text/css">

margin:0 auto;

}
.thumb
{
float:left;
margin-top:20px;
margin-right:20px;
padding:5px;
border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
background:#F0F0F0;
}
