This section describes best practices for many common types of customizations and whether they are supported in Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies. Customization, as used in this section, means any addition to, change to, or removal of the settings, content, and templates provided by SharePoint Products and Technologies. Unless otherwise specified, the descriptions in this documentation apply to all SharePoint Products and Technologies, including Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.

Note:
The topics in this documentation do not address every potential type of customization within SharePoint Products and Technologies; the intention is to address the most commonly requested types of customization. As newly identified customization types and descriptions of best practices become available, we will update this documentation.

Best practices for common types of customizations?

"Am I missing something here? I'm not seeing any best practices described here."

I cant see the left navigation either. Have to use the left navigation for the same, as a work around.

Sharepoint Page size

(A.) Resize the web parts on your page to have a fixed width. This will fix that particular page, if you want to have every page conform to such a standard, you can try a different master template if you have enterprise version, otherwise you will have to open SP Designer or Visual Studio and edit the CSS to restrain the main width to fit your needs.
