I was pointing out that sites like http://www.cnn.com are starting to widen their sites ouside the 800x600 scope I agree with you that 770px is a good width for a blog site.

Your current width is OK but any wider and it will be too wide for me. (I've got 2960px width desktop) Hi Steve

Obvously, you have to keep in mind your target viewer. I think we can safely say that 640px screen width is a thing of the past. Google analytics shows me that the viewers for this site are 100% between the screen resolution of 1024x768 and 1920x1200. So, in actuality - it would be "safe" for me to target the 1024 pixel width if I wanted to. Many large news sites now go with a 4 column layout, with the 3 main columns fitting into that 770px wide area. as for the link colors - I am crossing that out ;) HI Steve-

The original layout of this site (before I took over) suffers from a little DIV-itis. I have removed a bunch of the nested divs so that I can control the columns better. The columns now expand normally when the font-size changes. thanks for the comment, Jarno. you’re right! The original layout of this site (before I took over) suffers from a little DIV-itis.

Then when I need to enlarge the font up a notch, the layout of the page goes crazy. See for yourself, this page with Firefox and a control-mousewheel-down action makes the text jump over the darker right column of the page. Reading the content becomes a lot harder. Other than that, short guidelines on web design are really needed. Yours are pretty good on that matter. One thing I hate the most is when web designers decide the font size for me.

Do you even proof read what you are trying to say? Try out your own page on Firefox and see the screwed up font? “avoid any content that requires the user to download special, non-standard “plug-ins” to view your content…”
