If you have a 14 or 15-inch monitor, switch the resolution from 640 X 480 to 800 X 600. and to 1024 X 768 if your video card supports it. You will quickly see that everything gets smaller as the resolution goes up. That's because the monitor is displaying a larger number of pixels in the same screen space. On the Web you want as large a resolution as you can get. The larger the resolution, the more you can fit on the screen.
Web pages are almost always too large to fit on one screen, so a larger resolution is better.
Changing the Resolution For Windows users, from the Start menu, select Settings, then the Control Panel folder. Now double-click on the Display icon, then click on the Settings tab to see the current screen resolution. The number of colors is also important. Unless you are working with professional graphics and photography and have a computer with lots of memory, avoid using 16 million colors. You can get near photographic quality using thousands of colors, and you'll find many web graphics, look much better than when your display is set to only 256 colors.
