Well the good news is now I am finally seeing the website on all the browsers on my laptop pretty much the same! I do not have the Chrome vs IE issue I had originally. Although I was both looking at them all at zoom 100%, they were so very different the Chrome/Firefox, looked so much bigger! Finally I went to my control panel and played with the settings to be across all browsers... it worked! So things are looking much better already!
So I know that my includes worked in http://www.1800gotblinds.com/products.php
styles.css with the styling that just pertains to header, footer and menu.
Here is the mess I came up with!!! Obviously the includes are not finding the right css style sheet.

Yikes!!!
