 * I have setup a blog for my son. This is my first attempt at customizing my Word
   Press theme. When I view the site through Firefox, all is well. In IE, the posts
   will not sit in the beige container. Is there a specific tag or code that I need
   to use to bring it together in IE?

 * THANK YOU anyone in advance.

 * P.S. If anyone else sees anything out of wack, feel free to comment.

 * Reduce your sidebar width. Try a value like 220px and see if that helps.

 * You should not use pictures that are wider than your content area. In IE it will
   always screw up your layout.
    Resize your images before uploading them!

 * And most importantly: never double post the same topic in the forums!

 * OK, we can move it (as I already did), if it is in the wrong forum.
 * Next, You don’t really have to mess with the sidebar code.
    Read carefully what
   I posted about the fix. If you look at your individual posts (aka single post
   view, by clicking on the title) it will show you exactly which posts have a too
   big image…
