Default A how-you-do-your-computer survey question

Help me out.

I'm an amateur website hacker.
I keep my screen resolution set at 1024x768
pixels........and I have a website that looks
pretty good at that resolution

But I just looked at it in 800x600 pixel
mode and it looked pretty bad. Sucked, in fact.

So how many readers of this newsgroup keep
their computer screens at low resolutions,
like 800x600?

****e. Does this mean I have to design for
the lowest common denominator? Guess so.

You could build your webpage in a frame with a set size. That way, the
people with smaller screen sizes won't reframe your entire page, messing up
the formatting, but will have to scroll back and forth to see the whole
thing. As long as you put the important info on the left edge, it won't be a
problem.
