Without a link, people will be hard pressed to guess which of the myriad of IE bugs are causing the site to render poorly on the mac (not to say that Safari doesn’t have it’s quirks)
Wow…how stupid can one be!

Thanks for responding…I’m new to all of this–obviously!
For the record, re color you’ll never get things to look identical on both PC and Mac since Mac is always a few shades lighter on everything.
Actually, if your PC and Mac are set to matched gamma ramps, you should get pretty close to identical results. I don’t recall the precise difference, and once you color correct devices it could all vary to some level. 😉
Thanks for the replies, kickass and davidchait. I don’t have a MAC in front of me right now, I’m only going by what two other MAC users have told me tonight. The color problem appears to be two separate shades of red on the same page, between the background color on the blog and the background color on the header image, a .jpg I created in Photoshop, with the same “web safe” background color/code I used for the background color on the blog. Ugh!
Any guesses on why the border is cutting into the text on the first post, in Safari?
its an issues with the CSS, there are universally compatible CSS available on the net made by CSS protagonists.
btw, i am browsing your site using OPERA browser and the box is screwed up. the bottom line of the square is right below the “week. The core of our show is to support efforts being made to” line.

davidchait, that’s true of geeks who know how to do those kinds of things, but I’m a webdesigner who has to assume that 95% of the people out there who look at sites I design don’t even know they *have* options they can change in the browser or opsys they use (IE6, the broken browser OR Safari, the sometimes bizarre browser) . . . so though I have the gamma set in my main desktop pc, I don’t in the mac I use for testing, nor in the pc laptop I use for testing.
tmarfuta, you might find this helpful while you’re debugging:

It’s a mac screenshot generator. Though it’s not going to point up all problems (like the time a transparent div was covering my links in IEMac and they didn’t work!) for little spacing issues and suchlike this can do the trick. I used to use it before I bought my mac. Also you might try this search in Google:
site:archivist.incutio.com Safari border
“Safari border” are the keywords, you can plug in others. This is the archive for the css-discuss maillist, where these types of problems are routinely routed.
The red looks the same everywhere to me (mac osX 10.4.3, safari)…
