BrandonSite Width?
Currently I have the site's width at 1020px, but am concidering 680px, as at school I use 1024x768 and it displays with a horizonal scroll bar. I checked Analytics and 1025x768 is our #1 used resolution, accounting for about 1/3 of the hits over the last month. I choose these "weird widths" because screenshots are 160px wide (1/4th of 640) and to fit 3 screenshots on both sides of the sites center horizontal divider I use 1020px, but with 680 we could fit 2 screenshots on both sides, the site would display without scollers on even 800x600 and a lot of the content would fit better, I think :P What's your input?

What about 800px? That's what my site is. I think it works well.		2010-03-2311:33 AM

Make it dynamic. Like don't set widths as pixels but more like percentages so when you resize the page, it still looks nice. You can also use "min-width" and "max-width" properties in CSS.		2010-03-2312:05 PM

Making site content resize isn't as easy as it would sound, I prefer one size, that way no matter what computer you are on the blog will display the same.

It's not too hard since you estimate how wide each item should be on the page (e.g. forum name = 123px, forum title & content = auto). Still if you want a fixed width, I'd go with somewhere between 1024 and 1280.		2010-03-234:04 PM
