   My blog at http://www.tonyfleming.org, using the Travelogue theme, shows up fine in IE7, but the sidebar lists (blogroll, etc.) shifts to the right in Firefox. Changed a few small items in the style.css, but nothing brings it back over to where it should be.

   Any suggestions?

   looks like that's just differences in the way ff and ie handle padding, margins and nesting/cascade of css. if you're using %'s for sizes, 'auto', or float, they'd be the most likely culprits.

   Well, here's the code to create the sidebar:

   <div class="sidebox">

   <div class="boxhead"><h3><?php _e('Blog Roll'); ?></h3>
   </div>

   <div class="boxbody">

   <?php get_links('-1', '
   • ', '

   ', ' ', 0, 'category', 0); ?>

   </div>

   </div>

   (seems to be an random in there, but removing it made no difference.)

   and here is the relevant CSS code from style.css

   .sidebox {
   margin: 0px; /* center for now */
   width: 17.5em; /* ems so it will grow */
   background: url('images/sbbody-r.gif') no-repeat bottom right;
   font-size: 100%;
   }

   .boxhead {
   background: url('images/sbhead-r.gif') no-repeat top right;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
   text-align: left;
   }

   .boxbody {
   background: url('images/sbbody-l.gif') no-repeat bottom left;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 5px;
   font-size: 1.0em;
   font-weight: bold;
   }

   Any help would be appreciated!

   well, in the code above, a list-item command in the php actually shows up as a list bullet. In the command, it should be a negative 1, 'li', '/li', '[space]', 'zero', 'category', 'zero'

   (the li's are in their bracket, and the zeros are the number)

   hope this is understandable
