I think multimedia would be good, too. Though, I wonder if there's still any more Utena-related merchandise going around. I'm still looking to buy a ring, but can't find it on ebay.

For me, it's 1280x800

Widescreen mos def.

That doesn't work on all wallpapers. Some wallpapers look bad, especially if there's text, when scaled down.

And I use 1024x768 (or is it 786? I always get it wrong).

800x600 for the desktop, where I do my SERIOUS BUSINESS, and 1024x768 on the laptop, where I surf the Interwebs. I prefer 800x600 myself, but seeing as everybody else has better computers (and monitors) than I do, I'm in the minority here.

My new computer will hopefully be able to use something better than 800X600 soon, but not yet.  I'm putting Ubuntu on it and my graphics card is rather unhappy about it.  In the meantime, I'm 800x600.

I haven't used 800x600 in YEARS, so 1024x768 all the way.

However, for those who are using flat-panels, the standard is probably going to be 1280x1024. If you can afford to offer both options, that's your best bet.

Agree with Raven.

My screen resolution is 1280x1024 when I use my monitor (19" flatpanel), which is 95% of the time.  The other 5% when I use my laptop as a laptop, it's 1280x800.

If you go to Control Panel -> Display -> Settings, you can see where your resolution is currently set. If you have something like Windows XP or higher, you might have Control Panel -> Appearance and Themes > Change the screen resolution. I hope this helps.

Hmm. Based on this I'm thinking of no longer offering 800x600 and using the space to start allowing widescreen format wallpapers.

Sey, I honestly suck so hard are the coding, or at least lack the time to be good at it, that if tricking wordpress into doing what I want is the path of least resistance, than so be it. So far my only problem is that, obviously, the index page wouldn't have any of the 'blog posts', and I'm not sure how to swing that one. That or if there's a tag to have a post always be at the top, but only on the index page (not the searched or category pages) I'm golden. Frankly I haven't looked at the options in Wordpress much, and I should probably do that here.

Ok then
Well if you check on wordpress's website you will find the solution, I look there when I lack of ideas.

Thank you. O_o so, it turns out my resolution is currently set to 1680x1050, which sounds kind of weird, and I could set it back to 600x800 but I don't see any reason to. Aside from any delectable desktops that I could probably get at higher resolution anyway.

I'm just the standard 1280x1024 on my desktop.  And the less standard 1280x800 on my laptop.

Don't worry, there's nothing weird about it. It's just WSXGA+ which is the widescreen midpoint between 1440x900 and 1920x1200.
