Mr. Blue raises a good point. I constantly hear jokes and snide comments from other webmasters about webmasters who do not make their pages 800X600 friendly, but never about webmasters who do not make their page friendly to higher resolutions. Why is this?
I know that there is a difference in that an 800X600 site is as easy to read on a higher resolution as it is at 800X600, whereas a page optimised for higher resolution is a bastard to read on a lower resolution. But most of the comments I here about webmasters who do not make a site 800X600 friendly are along the lines of "newbie, doesn't know enough to make his site look good to all surfers", and surly that applies equally well to people whose site does not look good at the higher resolutions as well. After all, as Mr. Blue points out, in most cases all that is needed are a 'bgcolor' in the body tag and center tags around a table. Or in some cases, just making the table width 100%.
