I am playing around with the Monotone theme in CSSEdit (awesome tool BTW) but am still trying to keep it pretty simple.
I have arrived at a decent layout which looks passable in Safari and Firefox, but when I fire up the PC and open it in IE, the header gets a bit chopped up.
If anyone could take the time to check it out and shoot back any suggestions on working around this, I'd appreciate it.

Your code and css validate, so it's probably an issue with IE (the infamous IE 6?). One thing I would suggest is to keep all of your css together in one place and not use both external and embedded styles, which can cause conflict and duplication when you are editing css.

Thanks for checking it out iridiax.
I used IE 7 for the test, so I guess I'm still wondering what the prob is.
Regarding the external and embedded styles:
The Monotone theme came with 2 CSS Stylesheets... the regular one and one called "RTL Stylesheet"
(Not to hijack my own thread or anything but...) I'm still kind of a noob at this so can anyone tell me what is up with the second stylesheet and is it going to give me a headache?
Thanks.
I had some IE6 related problems recently, and it's painfull trying to fix stupid IE6 problems. I am using 'Microsoft IE Developer Toolbar', so you can try it as well and see why the layout is broken.
If I have free time tomorrow, I will try to 'debug' your blog. I will post here anything I found.
The reason for chopped header is line-height property for the H1 tag. If you set line-height for this element to higher value (60px for instance).

Hey GDragon..
That seems to have done the trick!
Thanks for the tip on the Microsoft IE Developer Toolbar too.
Cheers!
