My website http://www.laurenthelibrarian.com/ shows up the way I want it to in the Chrome browser, but appears much too large in the most recent version of Internet Explorer. When I view it in IE, the optimal page display is shown when I choose View/size/75% instead of 100%. Is there a way to insert a line of HTML that tells the page to display at 75% if being viewed from Internet Explorer?

Any compatibility tips would be useful! Thank you!

I don't see any size difference in my IE versions (I only have IE9 and older). In which way is it larger --bigger font size or wider layout?

BTW in IE7 the top nav menu links ("About Lauren" etc) appear in front of the latest entry heading image.

There are also quite a few validator errors: http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.c...elibrarian.com/ but if the page is generated by Wordpress these might be hard to fix. unsure.gif

Some browsers remember zoom settings from session to session. Does the size return to normal when you use Ctrl-0 (that's control-zero)?

Also content size depends on users' display resolution (and also physical monitor size), so it's impossible to make a page look the same for everybody. See also http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/design.html#screen-size
