Designing for screen resolution
Arny asked about this topic, here are my thoughts.
i try to make my layout usable in 1024 wide resolution, it's not so easy and sacrifice is involved i think.
to do it
go to your PC's screen res setting and set them down to 1024x768 and take a look at your homepage. if it has a horizontal scroll bar you are wider then a user viewing at 1024x768's screen.
you have to tweak and change and test your homepage layout to suite this >IF< you want people with smaller resolutions to easily view your site.
just putting this out there cause if you have a large group of guests to your site and they are using a certain screen size you want to cater to them so they like your site. see the screenshot from google analytics below to see a graph of how my visitors screen sizes break down.
