 * HI!
    I am working on [http://ecobumz.com](http://ecobumz.com) and my “shop” link
   at the top (the little brown sign) won’t work in IE.. it’s showing that it’s 
   actually above my “contact” sign? This is only in IE and not in Mozilla or Chrome?
   I’ve stared at it for hours and not sure what I’m doing wrong? I’d really appreciate
   any tips as this is where folks can actually click to SHOP..
 * Thanks in advance for your time!

 * It looks like the doc type declaration at the very top of header.php is broken.
   It should be on one line, so take put the spaces and returns in between
    `<!DOCTYPE
   HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"` and `"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.
   dtd">`
 * You also have two instances of `<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.9.2"/
   >`, so you may have two instances of wp_head in header.php
 * Fix the doc type and then work on other code errors you have, and then IE display
   should be OK: [[Invalid]Markup Validation of ecobumz.com – W3C Markup Validator](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A//ecobumz.com/&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.654).
   Scroll down in the validation report to see line numbers and source code.

 * It might have to do with the fact that you’re using display:inline;, float:left;
   and giving the
    -  items large left margins. The inline property is a common fix for the double
      margin bug in older versions of IE, but somewhere along the way the margin
      for “shop” is getting calculated from where your logo box ends instead of 
      begins. You could try pulling <li id=”home”> out of the
 *  -  with the navigation and giving it a separate container so there’s less chance
      for overlap.
