I've done something horrible.
Ignore this, I'm ranting. I don't care if you don't know what it means.
... and by ignore this, I mean don't read it if you don't want to... but everyone MUST leave me a comment about how much you love me, and so forth! I mean it EVERYONE!
First, the good news. I was just saying earlier today that I needed a website to work on (not to even think that I needed to work on millions of things for my own), and now I have something to work on. My boyfriend's "band" had a meeting tonight - they haven't actually rehearsed together yet, but they have some BIG ideas *snicker* - and gave me the go-ahead on the website. So, fairly soon, I'll have venusdiscordia.com to work on. YAY!
Well, so I get home tonight and realize I have no idea what to do with the Venus Discordia site. I don't have anything to start with. The lead guy is going to get my guy a cd tomorrow of images for me to start with. Hopefully that'll give me some idea? I bought the domain, though. Yay. Fifteen bucks, two years. I hope they actually start playing soon. Anyway, I didn't know what to do with that, so I decided to work on a big problem with my own site.
I made my site in the screen resolution I personally use (1280x1024), and refused to accomodate people with smaller resolutions by changing the way my site was set up. Well, this is a big mistake. I had to fix it, because... well, it was driving me nuts. So I put my monitor in 800x600 (which makes my screen shake, my monitor just can't take it without screwing up my refresh rate... so it makes my head hurt after about thirty seconds), and fixed a lot of graphics and coding errors that made the resolution gap. It looked GREAT in 800x600 when I was done, and I'd fixed some things that had always puzzled me. Hey, it's great to have finally fixed a big problem, right? I thought so. I was positively GIDDY about how great it all was to work correctly for the first time ever.
So I moved back to 1280x1024 to see how it looked in my normal resolution... and it looks HORRIBLE.
The entire layout takes up literally 1/4 of my browser window. *SOB* I don't know what to do, how to fix it... I can't LEAVE it how it is... all that fucking black space, what am I going to do with it?
The moral of this story? FUCK PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN 800X600!
HOW DO YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELVES?!

Well I think your site looks great, and I'm at 1152x864. IMO there's nothing wrong with an 800px width site. My personal site is even smaller than that. I think it can be good because you don't have to scan your eyes all the way across the screen to read, which can get tiring. I like it when sites read easy like a book.
