1024x768 gets the stamp of approval

Okay folks we now have the official word from the guru of usability gurus, Jakob Nielsen: 

“Optimize Web pages for 1024x768, but use a liquid layout that stretches well for any resolution, from 800x600 to 1280x1024.”

60% of monitors are set at 1024x768 pixels, so cut 8x6 loose and add that extra pixel real estate to your web designs.
