 * Hello! I’ve been using wordpress for about a month now and am having a blast 
   with it. I have translated and am modifying and existing theme to create my own
   unique blog.
 * I’m almost done and i like the way it looks in all browsers…except for Internet
   Explorer.
 * This is my [website](http://www.sjbuckley.com). The two issues are the spacing
   between the search bar and the icons below as well as the image i put as a bullet
   not showing up in the sidebar lists.
 * What’s wrong with Internet Explorer???
 * I’ve spent days searching the web for a solution.
 * Please help!

 * When dealing with display issues, first [validate your code](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sjbuckley.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&ss=1).
   Browsers can react differently to code errors. You also have an error (a missing**;**)
   in your style.css:
 *     ```
       #abonnement ul {
               list-style-type: none;
               padding: 0px 0 0px 0;
       	margin-left: 275px;
               margin-top: 0px
               margin-bottom: 0px;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you for your quick reply! That’s quite a lot of errors in my site!
 * I guess i need to go through them and fix them one by one? What other consequences
   could these errors have?
 * Thanks!

 * Fix the ones due to unclosed tags and the css one first because these are the
   ones most likely to result in display problems. Errors _inside_ youtube code 
   can typically be ignored.

 * Ok. So i fixed the CSS unclosed tag and checked out the report from my code validation.
   Unfortunately, i have no idea what to do about it.
 * Most of the errors seem to come from the formatting of the articles, yet the 
   articles themselves look fine in Explorer. Plus i can edit php and css files 
   in WordPress, but can i edit html the way it appears in the validation results?
 * My two biggest issues with Explorer right now is the displaying of the bullet
   jpg image in the sidebar list (which shows up in all browsers except for Explorer)
   and the H2 heading of the single article page, which Explorer really screws up,
   as you can [see](http://www.sjbuckley.com/2009/10/03/retour-sur-lannonce-de-google-chrome-os/).

 * One more thing, which is really baffling me…how can the space between my post
   title and the posts themselves differ from post to post?? If they all obey the
   same CSS rule, how is that possible?
 * It’s the same on my home page and on the single post pages. The title to every
   second post is higher than the previous one…
