RE: [APML] Picture Resolution For Web

["Dale Ireland" <direland@drdale.com>]

Hi
If you look at your own stats you will see why the most common website
resolution and thus the most common display resolution is 800X600. If you
aim your images at the 1024x768 group they will be too large to fit on the
screens of at east 20% of your visitors. If you use 800X600 you will still
have a high detail image and it fits on essentially every visitor's screen
