Going back through my stats at Clicky, I noticed something that stood out: The largest percentage of my visitors do not use what most bloggers use for their themes, the 1024×768 fixed-width. That resolution was used by only 31.9% of my visitors in the last 30 days. It is said that a picture can speak a thousand words. Well, I didn't take screen shots because the layout of the page that I'd be capturing would make this page extremely long. The following table will make it long enough as is:

If you look carefully, you'll notice that the combined percentage of visitors using a resolution greater than 1024×768 is in the majority. Why wouldn't we want to support the majority, as well as the minority?
