 * Okay, I’m probably missing something basic, but I can’t get my css to look quite
   right. What I’m attempting to do is create an overlapped set of boxes for my 
   story content and title which would look like [this](http://www.samuraipanda.com/after.jpg).
   What I get is [this](http://www.samuraipanda.com/before.jpg) . I’ve tried to 
   set the z-index as well as played with the opacity of “.storytitle” and “content
   div.post h3” without any success. You can see the full css at [http://www.samuraipanda.com/wordpress/wp-layout.css.](http://www.samuraipanda.com/wordpress/wp-layout.css)
   Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks, Ben

 * To make `z-index` works, you could add `position: relative;` in that same `content
   div.post h3`

 * Use a bg image of that color.

    I am

   asked for it for quite a number of time. It’s kubrick + pictorialis version of
   wordpress. Everthing appears fine in firefox, but in IE everything appears fine
   until you click on the comment link. When the comments form open up (i didnt 
   use pop up comment although that might easily fix the problem) the whole body
   template just crumble in IE. [http://photo.alvinwoon.com](http://photo.alvinwoon.com)
