Ugly Site
Posted by on Thursday, August 5, 2004 - 6 comments
I am looking at this my site on hotel internet set at 800 x 600. Does anyone else leave their setting there nowadays? [I have been amongst the Amish so am using words like "nowadays" nowadays.] At this setting, the photos look worse than Obidiah's boy Jerimiah did after he fell into the manure pile.

I read recently that 37% of users are still on 800x600, but the info was second-hand, so I don't know how old it is. Even if it's current, I think one needs to disect that statistic to learn more. You'll probably find out that 99% of the kind of people who really use the Web and do things like read blogs and get their news online, etc., are set at 1024x768 (minimum) but that the bulk of the 800x600 crowd is made up of freaks who still use Netscape 2.0 and spend all of their time gnashing around in newsgroups, along with people in prisons and psych wards, and transient users of under-funded public libraries.

Most importantly how are the spicy noodles? "Beware the English Gen x"

32.66% of visitors to my site use an 800x600 resolution. 90.53% of my visitors use IE 5 or 6 so I guess it can't be blamed on old browsers.

I still use 800 x 600 (I prefer it)
I stick with Windows 98 but do use IE 6

Well thanks for the feed back. I am glad Ale Fan sticks with the site despite the bleeding photos.
Spicy Noodles are not Amish feed, Mark. Why do people I know in real life use lower case initial letters in their names?
