Hey man. Saw your website and I need some help. I'm making one for my fraternity and using basic HTML, but the size of the site changes on nearly every computer (images, text, background)...why is that? If it fits perfectly on the computer I'm making the website with, then it looks smaller on a notebook and on some computers it looks bigger.
If you can help me, it'd be stellar...

Back to the website thing. You have to design the page so that it will work on all resolutions. I usually design everything for a 800x600 resolution because it is probably the lowest resolution that is on anyone's system now. Sure there is lower, but if they still use it then too bad for them.
The easiest way to fix the size to a resolution is to make one big table and contain everything within that table. The size of that table should be set to 800.
Example:
<html>
<title>blah blah</title>
<body>
<table width="800" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0>
<tr>
<td>
Build everything inside of this.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Where the table width is set to 800 is the trick. It will fix the page so that you can go no bigger than 800 and it can go no smaller than 800.
Hope this helps
