Comments on: Feeds and other stuff http://www.earlymodernweb.org.uk/emn/index.php/archives/2004/09/feeds-and-other-stuff/ news and views and even some research, from an early modern historian Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:38:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Sharon http://www.earlymodernweb.org.uk/emn/index.php/archives/2004/09/feeds-and-other-stuff/#comment-81 Sharon Fri, 03 Sep 2004 15:34:02 +0000 http://www.earlymodernweb.org.uk/emn/index.php/archives/2004/09/feeds-and-other-stuff/#comment-81 Thanks. That makes sense even to me (though believe me I'm usually even more ignorant about hardware than software...). I suppose the question then is how much I should worry about it. How many readers here are viewing the blog on low-resolution university computers (or older monitors) and not seeing it the way I want them to cf. those with up to date high-res screens who get it nice? And of the former group, does it bother anybody? (I'm finicky, I admit it.) ... Although I've just realised that the screen here in my office at least can be set to 1024x768. And, yup, then everything fits. But all the text is a bit tiny for comfort... Thanks. That makes sense even to me (though believe me I’m usually even more ignorant about hardware than software…).

I would bet that the school's PCs are showing only an 800 x 600 or even 640 x 480 display. Your pages look just fine running 1024 x 768 on 15-inch flat panels.
