Hi,

I'm designing my site using pixels, and I was wondering what the size you have to have is. Is it 600 pixels in width, cause that looks too small? or 800? I used to be good at web designing, but then I took a year off from the whole computer thing and I forgot a lot of stuff. Please visit: http://xtremetabs.hypermart.net/lbc to see what I mean about 600 looking too small. But if that's correct, then oh well. Thanks

I would say 600 since 640*480 screens are still around. If you look around you'll find that most non resizing sites still use 600.
And now let the war begin. ;)

Thank you much, but doesn't my site look kinda small though? Thanks for answering though.

Not for someone using 640*480. ;)
Personally I think centering helps, but perhaps that wouldn't go well with you design. Check winzip. It looks bigger than it is.
