The 66 character line is widely regarded as ideal... If the type is well set and printed, lines of 85 to 90 characters pose no problem in discontinuous texts.." - Robert Bringhurst Sometimes we can push that a little longer if we need to on the web, because we deal with a unique set of issues that make balanced columns difficult. It's also good to use the Golden Ratio (1.618) to make columns.. in order to have a harmonious looking design. So if your live area is 960px (divided by 1.618) = 593. So column 1 would be 593px and column 2 would be 367px. It isn’t really the width that’s important, it’s the number of characters relative to the width:
