   The theme that I converted over from rapid weaver is having some problems in internet explorer. First of all, when you go to the site, the navbar loads, and then all the posts appear a lot farther down the page. When I am using Internet Explorer 7.0, this problem disappears, but then again, most of the world is using IE 6.0, so how can I fix this. Also, the site works fine in Safari and Firefox.
   Just go to the site in IE and I think you will see what I mean.

   and the blog here: http://blog.amkouri.com

   The homepage is located here: http://www.amkouri.com

   Anytime I've had that "jumping" problem, it's been a matter of the part that's jumping actually being a pixel or two bigger than what the container/content div allows. Sometimes it's because of a large photo (though that doesn't seem the case here) but typically you need to use a hack for IE.

   Try this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/31557?replies=13 or do more searches for "Holly Hack" or "IE Peekaboo"

   I'd start by cleaning up the code: you have too many validation errors, so it's difficult to say where the problem is:
   http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//blog.amkouri.com/

   I'd also check the Meta and the search section in the sidebar - they seem to be displaced and/too wide for the width of the sidebar.

   Usually the cause of a "sinking" sidebar or content is the existence of a wider element either in the sidebar or in the content. Wide meaning: wider than the width defined in the stylesheet. Sometimes you have to go by trial and error, take out element one by one and see when will work...

   Yep, it looks awful in IE. Just curious, is there any reason that little picture of John Kerry weighs in at 1.3Mb?

   Because I have way too many server resources...and If people want to see the image larger, they can do that...
