Try fixing these validation errors and see if that helps.

Appreciate that, why is though that I don’t get the same errors with FireFox viewer?
The header image is a few pixels too wide and tall. Shave some off and it will work in IE.

Awesome, thanks for the help.
BTW, you’ll get the same validation errors no matter what browser you’re using. When you use standard HTML, you’re most likely to be OK in most browsers, but when you use incorrect/non-standard HTML, it’s hit and miss. Different browsers have slightly different ways of dealing with bad HTML, so things will look different.
But then, what with IE 6 not being up to standard and all, it can be tricky, even when you use proper HTML :C
first, make sure you code has no errors, and is compliant.
second, install http://ie7.sf.net. It fixes the display errors in errors in IE6 and brings it back to the present.

I check the errors from the validation page and my code has the correct html code, some of the issue like my breaks are correct but it tells me there’s no begining.
Not sure how to look at the info, if my what they’re tellin me is correct html code. Can some one break down a couple of the things it’s telling me so that I’m not spinning my wheels at stuff I think is correct. Thanks
Your code might have “correct html” but WP is XHTML – so learn about it:

Yeah, for example you need to close link tags. So instead of:
<link href="whatever" type="whatever" rel="whatever">
It should be
<link href="whatever" type="whatever" rel="whatever" />
Do you notice the / at the end there?
Also, when specifying URLs, you have to “escape” certain characters. So, instead of
syndication/publisher.php?id=1656&noad=1
It should be:
syndication/publisher.php?id=1656&noad=1
The & is changed to &.
Also, all tags and attributes should be lowercase.
So SCRIPT becomes script, A HREF becomes a href, and so on…

Validated my site as is right now, as it’s only a test site to learn, and everything checks out now. But, IE is still choking all over it’s self.
Thank God for FIREFOX.
