change default grid columns in Magento catalogue

Question

There are so many methods out there and it's a bit confusing but what's the best way to change the default grid columns in the Magento 1.4 product catalog?

Thanks

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to ask... If you want to edit the template for the grid view, edit the following app/design/frontend/default/yourtemplate/template/catalog/product/list.phtml

If you want to change how many columns are displayed, edit the following file: app/design/frontend/default/yourtemplate/layout/catalog.xml and look for the following tags: <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend">
