[plug] Web Page Editing

[Shannon Carver]

Yea, this becomes especially apparent on monitors with the resolution
above 1600x1200.  I've been to a few pages recently, which were very
well designed, and looked the goods, but look, on my screen, like they
were designed to fit two websites side by side on the one screen at
anyone time.  

I'll admit resolutions above about 1280x1024 can still hardly be
considered standard (Just for the fact, for the majority of consumer
LCD's this seems to be about high point at the moment),  but we're well
past the day and age where 800x600 was normal, and also past the day
where webpages should be hardcoded directly for a resolution of that
size.

This is waaaay OT now though, 

Sorry guys :P

Oh, and dreamweaver and some of the other web page creators, love to
use tables and spliced images with absolute sizes. Really not very
good for making standards compliant or accessible pages.
