I stand corrected. The image I grabbed was 6907x290 pixels (416KB). I had
assumed it was the full "street", but visually comparing it it looks like
about the first third.

Yes, not sure exactly what my browser is normally set to, but its less than
1024. I suppose it must be nearer 800, since I can fit two side by side on
my monitor. I accept I'm unusual wanting to see multiple browser windows at
the same time, 1024 seems to be the norm although some sites I've worked on
have targetted 800 (if anything).

Personally, I think your instructions look fine as they are.
Which software are you using to create the site? (i.e. which wysiwyg?) For
my hobby site I use FrontPage 2000 (my commercial stuff is almost
exclusively .NET and thus Visual Studio). I don't know about FrontPage 2003,
but FrontPage 2000 doesn't handle div's very well if you use them for
layout. I've been playing with Microsoft Expression Web Designer (the beta
is a free download) and it seems to handle these very well.
