Linda, you haven't set your display font size to a really big one in your browser, have you? I went to Stark's LJ and set mine to the largest one and sure enough it wouldn't fit on the screen. I have my browser set to the middle of the 5 options (medium).
I change mine by holding control down and using the wheel on my mouse. If you don't have that, you can change it by going View->Text size and selecting one--at least in my version of Explorer. Have a look at yours.
