Width of Blogger

I was doing some minor Blogger maintenance today, things like updating my template, as Google is updating a bunch of the Blogger stuff (like servers, how the backend works, etc). When I switched to the new template I noticed that it was rather narrow (who wants to scroll five pages to read a simple blog post?), so I decided to widen it a bit. The outer wrapper is now 760 pixels wide, while the text area is 510 pixels wide. This means that the whole page should still fit within a 1024x768 screen. It looks to me like the Google template won't resize if it comes across a smaller screen, and I don't know gml (Google's markup language for their templating system) enough to make variable width templates. Are there any other complaints?
