WebSite Navigation design

I'm designing a blog site and is confused about position of navigation pane on my site. Please s开发者_C百科uggest wheather I should go with design having navigation panel on top of page, on left sidebar or on right sidebar? Which one is preferred?

Can you give some examples supporting your answers?

If there are just some points: put it on the top. The disadvantage is, that most people have widescreen monitors, so they have to scroll more. If the navigation is on the right, people with smaller monitors can't see the navigation without scrolling. If you put it on the left, they maybe have to scroll to the content. Always think of the smaller monitors, then there should be no problems :)
