Thanks for your response Gareth. Just to close this thread with a solution, I had a friend look at this page with a 30" monitor and here is her screenshot http://screencast.com/t/dBsdLRrsw
I figured out what is going on. Because the blueprint layout forces a "float:left" for each div using a SPAN class there needs to be a constraining <div> parent with a width of "span-24" or in this case 950px otherwise the child divs continue to float left. My monitor has a max resolution of 1280 by 1024 so it is small enough that the children <divs> stack on top of one another. If the browser window is wide enough the child divs continue to cascade across the page rather than stack. Once I set the parent div to a width of 950px, the child divs were forced to stack no matter how big the browser window was. Hopefully that helps others if you are fighting with the same issues. I am only begining to understand why everyone gets so frusterated with Internet Explorer. Everything looks great in all of the compliant browsers and they you check it with IE and you realize that you have hours of fun to hack it together.
