 * I dont know why, but my sidebar, with widgets, often times does not show up in
   IE, but always works in FireFox? Only sometimes it fails to load in IE….? Clear
   cookies, refresh, still no sidebar, but open FF and there it is?
 * This is annoying and I am starting to think that it has to do with the theme 
   I am using (Mistylook) but am unsure…
 * Any advice appreciated.

 * ok, so it is not passing, so what? Many pages dont pass and this is a blog, we
   dont write the code…
 * If it views in FF fine, it should in IE as well, no?
 * I believe this is due to the theme, no?

 * No. Absolutely wrong assumption. Different browsers interpret the wrong code 
   differently: some are more forgiving, others just mess up the display.
 * And just FYI, in 99.99% of the cases it is not the theme but the user putting
   crappy code in their posts…
