Problem with appearance on other computers

When I look in my browser it looks great when I look on my kids computer you have to use the scrollbar to go to the left to see the full screen, is this because their monitor is smaller? How can I fix this if that is not causing it? I would like it to look the same in everyone's browser.
Thanks in advance!

A link would be helpful, but it's probably different screen resolutions that are the problem. How you fix it will depend on the theme you're using.

A typical screen resolution "problem". Your monitor setting can be 1024x768, the site width 900pixels and your childs computer 800x600 pixels. Obvious that the site fits on your screen but not on...

Next to the screen resolution issue there is also the problem that different browsers can generate different output (that's why some themes have more than one css file).

Solutions: make your site fixed 760pixels (fits on a 800x600 screen) wide or make it "stretchy" (like the word).

I think the main culprit is the image towards the bottom of your site. It's 700px wide by iself. Once you add the side columns, it's going to put it well over 800px. BTW it doesn't scroll for me, IE6 @ 1024 x 768.

*edit: The logo up top is 1000px wide by itself! Say no more. You have to reduce some of thos image sizes!
