Among other useful statistics are visitors' screen resolutions (system statistics):



Visitors' screen resolutions are useful for webmasters (which include bloggers) so that they can decide on the template that can cater to the visitors' screen resolutions. For example, at one time this statistic showed that there were still 15% of the visitors with screen resolution of 800x600 pixel. A template with total width of 800 pixel was selected for this blog to cater to them.
