Hi Chris, you may like to try to apply for google analytics code too.
http://www.google.com/analytics/
Google analytics gives very detailed stats, it produces report for
Executive, marketer and web master. It has a section for web design
parameters where you can see very detail reports for
1) browser versions
2) platform versions
3) Browser & Platform Combos
4) Screen resolutions
5) Screen colors
6) Languages
7) Java Enabled
8) Flash version
9) Connection Speed
10) Hostnames
When I first applied, it took some 3 weeks to get the code, after
that it gave away invitation codes like crazy - one google account
per analytic code, kind of like gmail thing :). So far I received 6
codes and installed them to 6 websites. It doesn't allow user to send
invitation though, otherwise I will be sending many away.
About the screen resolutions, if google analytics reports are
correct, I think we can safely design for 1024 x 768 freely and use
big images :) . Of 6 websites I installed the analytics, there are
only 3 to 9 percent of users who use 800 x 600 resolutions and the
dial-up user is less than 6%. 1024 x 768 resolutions dominated 65%
and above.
Cheers,
tee
