 * 1st WordPress is really slick and best of all FAST! So great Job guys.
 * now the issue I am having is I installed but for some reason it the formatting
   of the script is all screwy. Nothing is centered or aligned the way it’s supposed
   to be..
 * Here’s a link:

 * To add confusion to the whole thing if I test it out locally on my windows 2000
   maching running Big Apache and the formatting is just fine. Any ideas? Thanks.
 * PS I would post up the IP of my local server but I’m in Costa Rica and Cable 
   Internet Provider has blocked Port 80. Thanks.

 * I think the problem is down in the structural portion of your CSS in the `body`
   selector.
 * You have:
    `body { margin: 0; padding: 0;  }
 * Change it to:
    `body { margin: 0 auto; padding: 0;  } and that should help.

 * That didn’t work and it’s more than the just a margin issue. The whole site is
   acting as if there is no CSS.
 * Any reason why this would work on 1 server and not another?
 * I’ve even copied everything I had working on locahost server and over to the 
   remote server.
 * PS I uses FF, I cleared cahce shut down and restarted the program.
 * PHP INfo of my server:

 * I figured out what was wrong..
 * The above note at the admin and theme headers
 * ‘<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “[http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>&#8217](http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>&#8217);
 * Did not let the rest of the information below load properly. I honestly do not
   know why. When I removed it and tried to see where the address in there leaded
   to it prompted me to Download.
 * Now the question is why is this exactly needed? I removed it and the site worked
   fine, and I’m left to assume my hosting provider (CI HOST) has blocked incoming
   connections when they attempt to bring in files. From my stand point this is 
   a good security measure but what are the ramifications of not including
 * ‘<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “[http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt](http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt);
   ‘
   Line?
 * I wanted to be able to adhere to what is neccessary and use the software the 
   way it’s diesigned to be used. Thanks.
