If I will be ask which of that two I like more. I will choose the 2 column because for me I can show my content more wider in a 2 column rather that 3 column.

Three column layouts are especially nice if you can assign a purpose to the columns.

For example I try to have functionality on the right, have parent-type control and ownership to content in the middle. Functionality on the left, more for cross-linking and other “What’s Next” type calls-to-action.

I prefer 3 column if you want make many widget in your blog, (busy blog). But, if you want your blog seen professional, you can choose 2 column and go…

lol – Yep! I’m using a 2 column layout for the same reasons mentioned above though. Just the priorities have changed so the advantages of 2 columns appeal more than the advantages of 3 now

SLIRK Layout: multiple column proportional scrolling layout.
It’s under developement (beta release) and lot of bugs are not fixed, but I want to share it (Common Creative GNU GPL Licence) through the web 2.0 community. I’ll continue to increase efficiency, reliability and browsers compatibility.
Coming soon CMS (for blog too) based on.

I hope in your interest.

I personally like the 3-column layout because I want my readers to focus their eyes on the center content first before straying to the sides. After all, isn’t my article the one I’d want them to read? Once they finish reading that, then their eyes can explore the whole page, still passing by the center content every now and then. That’s how I would like my visitors to go through. haha!

But then again sometimes I find it difficult to fill the two sidebars. I’m a no-clutter type of person and sometimes when using 3-column layouts I go out of my way to look for things to stick in there which kind of defeats the purpose doesn’t it.
