remember to make it compatible with non-microslop browsers! (It's ok at the moment, that wasn't a complaint!)

I'm using 1280x1024 but I'd recommend optimising it for 1024x768. That's normally enough screen real estate for most requirements, and doesn't penalise the reasonable number of people who can't yet achieve a higher resolution.

All IMHO of course!

I would go with 1024 x 768. I use 2 1600 x 1200 on twin 22" monitors, but most people will be compatible with 1024 x 768. Any chance of uploading the "Winter Words"??

IMHO most web designs should assume 800x600. Only a few years ago designers based page layouts on 640x480.

Tech marches on, however, I have found it's always good to design with the lowest expected settings in mind. That way people with 800x600 are happy and those of us with higher resolutions will get the benefit of having to scroll about less.
