When you’re looking at a 19 inch wide screen monitor, a single column layout either wastes most of the screen or As the tiniest resolution starts begin used less and less we’ll start seeing more and more multi column layouts, even for regular websites and blogs. This will happen slowly, as the marketplace adapts to changes in technology, but its coming.
Why not use up some of that extra 70% of wasted space?�Maybe cut down a little on scrolling too. I’m going to design most of my new websites to take advantage of multiple column layouts with the ideal resolution to be at least 1024 X 768.�Of course I’ll make sure all the important stuff still works and looks good on 800X600, but they may have to scroll a bit to see a floating extra column that will site horizontally to the main content on larger monitors / resolutions.
