First off,
Morning interview with David Cook (November 19, 2008) - http://wjz.com/morningedition/David.cook.s...r.2.868271.html
3 minutes in, they show David-Cook.org in reference to his "website."

My main issue though and request is asking how you guys see the website. When they showed the website in the video, it looked like this:


I've heard a couple of people say they need to scroll to the right to view the rest of the site...These are people using screen resolutions 800x600 and lower. In the above image, they can't even see the LIGHT that flashes or the rest of Cook's body.

I use 1280x1024 screen resolution and the site then looks like this:


I would like everyone to please post if they see the website similar to picture 1 or picture 2. Of course it looks better in picture 2.

----------------------------------------

Here's a tip:
Most websites nowadays aren't made for a 800x600 screen resolution anymore (example in the first picture above shows that it doesn't show the whole site). Most sites are made in width of 1024 pixels (sorry for the new language).

Now it's time to change your display settings...view the example below:

- Right click on your DESKTOP
- Choose Properties
- Select Display Settings
- Drag the slider off of 800x600 and make it anything of 1024 or greater...


You can also access Appearances through the Control Panel. Start > Settings > Control Panel

Hi travis!!! I actually have an INBETWEEN VIEW!! LOL !!! I'm working with a 1024 x 768 pixel resol. And this is the way I see the site on my pc. I cant even scroll to the sides, and until I saw your pic, I hadn't noticed the Bulb on the left or that we could actually see David's body!! sad.gif unsure.gif

Yeah I know people using older computers with the bulky monitor use the 800x600 settings which sucks lol. Even DCO uses a 1024+ resolution...but like I said, most sites are made for 1024 or greater now so I just want to make sure everyone is getting the full effect of the site and not just partial

That's the screen resolution I use as well. I noticed the light bulb before this, but I can only see half of it, and I didn't know that you could see the rest of Dave either.

Mine looks exactly like #2, except without the Amazon ad for some reason...I guess that's my ad-blocker. I use Firefox with 1440x900 resolution.

I see picture number 2 on my laptop and desktop. Both computers are widescreen so I think that helps with how I see the site.

Travis- I don't see Davids body. I went to properties and up came Task bar & Start Menu Properties. Can't find display settings. Should I go into Control Panel for that? Rhoda

Travis, I see option 2 with no problem. I didn't notice the light bulb until you pointed it out. However, David's eyes are strange looking LOL

Thanks Travis, you are the man!
