   <center> isn't a valid XHTML tag.

   Anyway, you are opening a bunch of <center> tags and not closing them.

   The reason it is working in IE is that IE doesn't care about standards.

   PS. You should be using <p style="text-align: middle;">

   Possibly in your templates. The source of your site shows this as the first line:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

   If you're going publish your blog as xml, you have to make sure your use of XHTML elements are valid. For example, tag attributes *must* be enclosed in quotes. In your img tags, the src attributes are not so enclosed.

   Also, empty elements such as <img>, <hr> and <br> need to be closed in the tag's usage: <img src="" />, <hr /> and <br />.

   <script type='text/javascript' src='http://redban.textamerica.com/iPanel/panel.aspx?view=419264&amp;count=3'></script>

   * 'language' is not a valid XHTML attribute for <script>.
   * The ampersand (&) in the url should be escaped/converted to its HTML entity equivalent (&amp;).
