A viewing dilemma
-
Do you mean 96 DPI (not 69)? I leave mine at 96 (except on my 5″ screen on my Sony, in which case I set it at 110).

The option for DPI 144 has disappeared from the list…maybe it was a once-in-a-lifetime choice, like marriage…
OK, I decided to stick with 1680 x 1050 resolution because that’s what the install disk prescribed for this kind of monitor. It also prescribed 144 DPI, but that choice is gone, so I opt for 120 over 96, because 120 increases the webpages a bit, and therefore needs a little less Zoom+.
I simply can’t help what other internetters see. I hope they all think like you: ‘this weblog looks fine’.
What a torture device; a computer.

I am new to all this .. I opened a 2nd Blog yesterday and uploaded some images but this evening the format of the first page has changed to Portrait style instead of a landscape format. This is just the front page. When I upload a new image the former first page moves to a landscape format as the 2nd image but the new image stays portrait .. tried to resolve it but I cant manage .. i have a 24inch monitor
blog is http://andtheeyesinhishead.wordpress.com/
Is there a simple answer to my problem
thanks for any help

I see a blogpage in the center, taking up only one third of my total screenspace. The b+w photograph is huge and breaks through the right side borders of the template. That usually happens, when the pictures exceed 500 pixels wide.

Thank you, exactly what I see as well .. I will try and reduce the width pixels
Thank you veru much for your help -
It’s the same problem, actually. The Venice photograph stays now within the borders of your template, but even at 120 DPI (my setting, yours is probably 96) it looses in impact and in detail. The picture looks better already when I zoom in to 150%. It even survives a magnitude of 240%.
But this magnifying should be a one time configuration, not something one has to activate for every webpage.
Well, there is only one solution: buy an upgrade from your blogprovider, with CSS you can manipulate colours and move/add/remove borders so the template gets wider, and thus creates space for much larger images. -
The situation sofar:
Initially Firefox seemed to give a better screen image, but only because it configured the DPI at 144, whereas IE 7 has it set at a basic 96.
I now settled for 120 DPI, it’s the best of, er, bad worlds, but it means zooming in at literally every webpage I open. I can’t believe this, it’s so 1988.On the Firefox Forum someone writes that the Zoom utility in ‘View’ remembers the enlarged values, and shows an enlarged page upon revisiting. At my side it doesn’t. Anyone who uses this option, and having no complaints? Tell me your secret.
I have tried Autosizer, which which you can maximalize and/or restore webpages, it’s happily iconing away in my tasbar, but whatever I activate or resize manually; no results. At least no visible ones.
I know I’m considered a notorious forum nag, and one may think this is not a wordpress item at all, but everyone running a weblog wants to show it off at its best advantage, right? Vivianpaige states she has no problems with het widescreem monitor whatsoever, so I copied her settings, but me sees problems. I found out that a couple of webloggers elsewehere are also most unhappy with the sizes and qualities of widescreen views, but are at a loss for a way to improve them.
If you ask me, this item should receive much more attention on WordPress Support. Even with the possibility that Vivian is right and that the problems are my own fault, by some incorrect configuration or whatever. Well, I’m by far not the only one.

OK. It’s obvious that with various screen formats, ratio’s, DPI’s and resolutions a blogger simply cannot please every internet user. I discovered (finally!) that there is no need for the Zoom function in ‘View’, nor for a specially installed page magnifier on the Task Bar. CTRL and some hammering on the + digit enlarges or minimizes the page also. In the blink of an eye, it does. Which means 5-10 times faster then when you fiddle a Zoom tool.
I immediately placed the CTRL trick as an advice on my weblogs. That should do it.
