Did you check any of the links from the Google SERP that comes with the above
search query? Read them and you'll have your answer.







(Hint: my screen has a resolution of 1024x768, but the viewport I use to browse
in is 655x436. What does that do to your design you think? It means a large part
of your page is hidden and can only be reached by using the scrollbar for
horizontal scroll. I hate that. And with me, many others will not stay with your
pages unless that _have_ to. They'll find a page that adapts to their viewport
in stead of them having to adapt their viewport to yout page.)
