Not even sure if I'm asking the right question but is there a way for VSD to adjust it's size for other monitors?

No, VSD sites are static rather than fluid or flexible. You would have to make other versions of your site for various devices or use the Editor (it has some flexible/fluid lay-outs) and get into the html/css.

Get out some fluids for yourself when you dive into HTML5/CSS3 fluid designs.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Great! Another excuse for a cocktail (just started reading Sitepoint's HTML5 & CSS3 for the Real World)!

So, I'm not all that smart and I'd ever have enough time in the day to start experimenting with html5/css.
Maybe this is a dumber question than my first...If I were to layout my site on a larger monitor, would it scale down on other people's computers?
This would give me the excuse I need to but that 23" I've been looking at

Sorry, Boyd – that won't work 
But think about all the people viewing your site on netbooks, pads and phones... keep it a reasonable size (under 1000 px wide) and keep in mind – some people like wide monitors so they can have more than one thing open at a time.

That'd be me
Boyd - doesn't mean you "can't" get that thar monitor though... My preference these days, is the tv/monitor combo's, that way it can multi-task (while I multi-task).
