Layouts..
What would be the appropriate size to use for a layout that would fit mostly any screen size? And if regardless it wouldn't fit, that is there a way to center your layout?
Thanks for anyone who helps

fluid = 100%
set size ~= 750px
align center, margins to auto, depending on the code you're using.

100% would fit any screen... Of course, you wouldn't be able to use any images or long words... 750px will fit most screen sizes, but it will be quite narrow on larger monitors with browsers set to full-screen.
Is there another way I can explain this so it makes sense? Do you have a set audience or resolution you need to address? More details would let us help you better.

Well my screen is a 1024x768. But I'd want to have a layout that won't look to huge for a 800x600 res.

You shouldn't go wider than 750px wide, then. Many sites either go fluid (so it will resize to almost any screen width -- though you will have problems with line lengths and readability) or a set width (750px) with a nice background for higher resolutions.
