 * Hi,
 * I have a weird problem with wordpress. I copied the twentythirteen theme, and
   modified the structure to meet our design requirements.
 * The only problem is when I resize the browser, the layout get cut off at half.
   Might be responsive? Check the image if that doesn’t make sense..

 * I tried removing the meta viewport tag, with no luck at all!
 * What can cause this?
 * Thanks.

 * the fixed width in this style seems to be causing (at least part of) the problem:
 *     ```
       #main {
           width: 1170px;
           margin: 0 auto;
           padding-top: 40px;
       }
       ```

 * Just as alchymyth has stated the fixed width is what is causing you an issue.
 * Change it to something like this for a more fluid site:
 *     ```
       #main {
           width: 100%;
           margin: 0 auto;
           padding-top: 40px;
       }
       ```
   
 * and add this to your #content div
 *     ```
       #content { max-width:65%; margin: 0 auto; }
       ```
   
 * You’ll need to set your images to be responsive as well, to adjust correctly 
   to the fluid container
