Most proponents of building for higher screen resolutions think they'll be able to somehow squeeze more ad space on a page, but that's because they haven't thought it through all the way. It's basic geometry people - work with me. I'm not going blind just so a couple of free site builders can rave over their 40 inch LCD monitors.

Careful there UW...that was a pretty damn useful post...ya don't wanna ruin your reputation yanno

UW is absolutely right. Building for the larger resolutions does not necessarily equate to more real estate for ads.

And just for the record, my link site does fit at 800 wide as does the new re-design that's about to be launched

Oh, I run on a 19inch flat screen at 1280x1024. But, I have FF installed with developer extensions so I can resize to 800 wide in a click
