 * I had been working on a theme the other day, and eventually got it all validated
   XHTML and CSS. However, my sidebar continuously showed up under my blog, and 
   the site still looked drastically different in ie. I’ve since taken the theme
   down and been trying to figure out what could cause that. Any ideas?

 * Just try a search for the two keywords in your post: “sidebar down” 🙂

 * I’ve been reading on the ie errors and the box model and whatnot but i am so 
   incredibly lost.

 * I have a question:
 * #weblog {
    background-color: #FFFFFF; width: 390px; float: left; margin-left:
   170px }
 * #weblog {
    background-color: #FFFFFF; \width: 560px; w\idth: 390px; float: left;
   margin-left: 170px } What do these two items in your CSS relate to? They are 
   calling the same features.
 * You have also centered the template in your #Container
    margin: 0px auto 0px 
   auto;
 * Not sure why you are using the margin-left: 170px on the #Weblog part.
 * try taking the second #Weblog out and take out the margin-left part. You are 
   already using floats.

 * I thought i had taken out the second # weblog.
 * I need the margin because if i leave it as just the float, it’s too far over 
   on the left.
