For the whacked look in IE, it could be as simple as this line in your code – probably in sidebar.php?
<center><img src="http://www.faenation.com/images/samplethumb.jpg"/></center>
You shouldn’t use a <center> tag here.<br />
Also you have a / after .jpg" that won't allow your image to come in.
The stylesheet in your theme is where you should be able to center page.
Look for the #page` section.
Actually the slash in there makes img a self closing tag, and it’s needed to validate in XHTML strict, if you’re interested in doing that. As for the background issue, I don’t have IE, so I can’t tell what the problem might be, but could you describe how far over it’s shifted, or maybe post a link to a screencapture?
Agh! What is the deal with all the hacks in the WordPress default stylesheets? (sorry – little mini-rant there)
Anyway, yeah, you’ve got issues in IE! here’s what I suggest:
#pageWrapper – in your stylesheets – is set to “margin:0 3%;” This may be what’s causing your outder wrapper to push out like it is. Change it to “margin:0 auto;” and it will center the div.
You have some *really weird* spacing in your menu. It’s like this:
<ul
><li>stuff here</li
>
Whay is that? I’ve actually seen this before somewhere else, and I just find that absolutely weird. i think it also affects something in your layout – you should get rid of those line breaks before the closing tags.
Your two sidebars are *below* your content area…also odd. I’m looking at your code and stylesheet, and there seems to be so many extra things in there (and unnecessary things!) that I can’t decide *what* is throwing things out of whack there – I apologize. Maybe someone else who’s had experience with this template would know how to fix that – but if it were me, I’d redo the whole thing 😉
Anyway, hope that what I’ve put so far helps you out a little.

Cheers for the replies.
Unfortunately nothing fixed it so I’ve ditched the whole thing and started again.
*throws things at IE for being useless*
I’m using the IE7 Beta and it shows up just fine.
