I understand what you are saying though. We have an "old school" TV (that is 4 or 5 year old "normal" TV) instead of a "fancy pants" new flat-screen/wide-screen display TV. I think I've noticed that some sports programs (i.e. superbowl) and also CNN are now broadcasting "wide screen" and the edges aren't showing up on our TV. This is really annoying watching election returns when part of the map and some sidebar numbers aren't visable. I not ready to go out and buy a new flat screen TV though when the TV I have isn't that old and works just fine (and uses less electricity than either a new big PLASMA or LCD TV would). Oh well. ~ Steve, purveyor of fine trade show display booths and other trade show sundries Will, I am on a 1024×768 display, and all looks as it should I think.

I have to tell you, you are one of the kind to take the constructive criticism very well, I am always very careful what I say and try to tune to people emotions, which is hard sometimes when you blog. However, I will do my best, thanks for the info. I myself have wide screen for about three years now, and I love it, I don't see bottom of my documents most of the time, but we usually read from left to right, and the bottom will come along, same with pictures, most of them are in the landscape orientation. Thanks again, Anna :) Hi Will, I promise to be more honest from now on, lol.

Your blog can be smaller than the wide-screen resolutions so that it fits in the view but it shouldn't be wider than the view for anyone because readers don't like to use the scrollbars much. Horizontal scroll bars still lesser! But after such customization you can always optimize your <a href="http://www.inspiritblog.com/?p=7" title="Use wide content containers on your blog to increase “readability”">content block to be as wide as it can be, for more usability.</a> Good Day.
