Q:   I've noticed that some pages on my site jump to the left, and others jump to the right. Do you know what may be causing this?

A:   Take a closer look and you'll notice that the jump is caused by the appearance of a vertical scrollbar on the second page.

To avoid this problem, make sure that all your pages have just enough content to trigger a vertical scrollbar. Although you don't want to put content unnecessarily "below the fold," sometimes an extra line break or two will do the trick.
