 * It seems everything on this site is reduced by a % amount. For example, the wrapper
   is specified a width of 1007 pixels but if you measure it on screen, it “seems”
   to display only about 934 pixels. Even the dashboard displays in smaller fonts.
   It just seems that it does not have a 1:1 display ratio, that somehow everything
   got reduced, even the ads display smaller (e.g. leaderboard shoul dbe 728×90 
   but measures only 667×86).

 * Cannot verify. I measured and I saw 1027px, which is the wrapper including its
   padding.

 * OK, this might sound elementary but need to ask. If you go to view in your browser(
   assuming IE) select zoom, is it at 100%? Sounds like it might be at 75%. Your
   page looks normal and right to me.

 * Thanks, guys. I rechecked and it looks like it’s fine in IE (8), but not in FF(
   3.5.3). The parent site ( [http://www.spotshoppingguide.com/](http://www.spotshoppingguide.com/))
   displays correctly.
 * What’s really strange is that even the WP Dashboard seems to be affected for 
   that site but not for the parent site.
 * Concerning browser view size, I am aware that e.g. in FF, CTRL-mouse scroll will
   change the display font size, but I did not do that manually. Is there a way 
   to specify that in the styles.css file?
