 * Hey, I’m working on a new WordPress theme for a group that I’m working with. 
   I’ve got most of the theme’s design worked out but I’ve got a couple of CSS problems
   before I take it into WordPress. Could someone take a look at this and help me
   out? I don’t think they are huge problems; I got most of the big errors taken
   care of.

 * 1) The “Washington College Republicans Federation” text should be inside the 
   rounded grey corner area in the header. If I use “padding: 16px” on the header
   div, there is a margin sort of thing that appears on the bottom of the div. (
   It separates the container div from the bottom of the header div, creating about
   a 15px space in between.)
 * 2) The nav div (navigation menu) shows fine in Safari/Firefox, but is weird in
   IE. I used position:relative within the header div to place the bar of text in
   the bottom right of the header div. Is there any other way to do this that will
   display the same in IE and Firefox/Safari?
 * Thanks!

 * 1) personally I would put that in another block-level element, and control that
   element
    2)I see you use a space but forget the ; behind it ( ). With such display
   errors, I always use a border (red or blue) and see how the element looks into
   the other. Then I get a good grasp on how the two behave and where the problem
   lies. That makes it easier to do trouble-shooting.
