Wordpress blog visible on Safari but not on Internet Explorer. (6 posts)

    Hi everyone. Recently I decided to start a blog and decided to use Wordpress for the first time. I got everything uploaded, installed, and seemingly running fine. I am a Mac user, so I used Safari to view my blog, http://www.gogoglam.net. I've also used Safari on my iPod and Verizon Wireless mobile web to view it. I thought everything was great until I directed my friend to the site. She, being a Windows Internet Explorer user, only sees a white screen. I checked it out on my parents' PC and I'm having the same problem. Why would this be? And what can I do to fix it? Thanks so much!

    You have some serious validation errors - especially within the <head></head> section of your theme's header.php file.

    How would I fix that? I don't recall changing anything on my header.php file. Please advise.

    The header.php file has definitely been edited.

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Go Go Glam: The Modern Girl's Guide to Awesome</title>
    </head>
    </html>
    
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US">

    That first block needs removing.

    The stuff inside the <html> </html> was added to the index.php file, not the header.php file. I didn't realize that that would mess things up. That second bit, I have no idea where that came from as I didn't add it to any of my files.

    The second bit is OK. You need that. Looks like your site is now working in IE. :-)
