    I had my blog up and running yesterday and everything looked great until I changed my Awsome news text and then my menu went haywire. In IE it’s over the the right way too much (it had been centered). I found some code that looked promising, but can’t figure out where it should go or if it will even fix it. Can someone help? http://www.prochazkaphotography.com/blog

    And this was the code I tried:
    body {
    text-align: center
    }

    #header, #menu, #container, #footer {
    text-align: left;
    }

    thansk!

    You have quite a few errors in your code. Check it out on http://validator.w3.org/

    I checked those 29 errors, but they seem to be all in the posts themselves. I didn’t see that much in the actual code of the css. Is there something I’m missing?

    It is always best to start with compliant code.

    In your style.css #sidebar with position absolute it seems you should put in the position, left: 47px;

    I tried that and it moved over. My css work is done by trial and error so I hope this helps. :^)

    Awesome – thank you so much! It worked! I ended up using left: 0px; but nonetheless it worked! 🙂

    It’s also a good idea to try and discourage people from using IE but putting a big warning somewhere like “WHY NOT INSTALL SOME DECENT SOFTWARE SO THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO VIEW WEBPAGES CORRECTLY?!?!?!!!!!1111oneoneoneeleven”.

    That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard, err, read. Most bloggers want to encourage people to read their blog and try to have it work in a majority of browsers. A statement like that will turn off many possible readers and have some thinking you are an idiot.
