    Hi there

    To avoid sideways scroll on all computers, it is best to build your pages at '800 width, the length can vary, although long pages are not my favorite .. (those over 1200 or so) Building your page in this manner will ensure all viewers will see the same. It is best to use web friendly fonts, you can do a google search for that, and to check your page appearance in both most popular browsers, Internet Explorer and Firefox. (Personally, I find Firefox drops the text down a bit in some areas on the page, just watch for that and tweak the text between both browsers) It doesn't hurt to set your own computers text to large to get a glimpse as well, not many, but some do view in large text ...

    Begin to build your pages at the top left and tight to the left and set your right margin at '800 ... then right click on your page, choose properties and tick center in browser ... you will also notice there is an area there for Title (this is different than naming your page for publishing) this area can be changed to reflect your page content ... this is what shows up in the lower toolbar on your computer - you might notice right now it says "Untitled Page" - this is where to change that ...
