    I just noticed that that the posts on my website http://www.raincityguide.com are centered in i.e., but not so in Firefox. I’m pretty new to WordPress and I can’t seem to troubleshoot this problem. Any ideas on where I should look?
    If it helps, I’m using a modified version of the Landzilla theme… Any help would definitely be appreciated.

    I use Firefox on Mac OS X; your white page is centered with blue down sides.

    Do you mean you want the posts ‘center’ and the side bar to the right?

    If I had noticed your page not centered, then I would have recommended adding another div wrapping around all your content with <div align="center"> just after the body tag in the header.php and </div> just before the close of the body tag in the footer.php of your theme.

    I actually prefer the look of the un-centered post in Firefox. The centered posts in IE look a little freaky..:)

    I agree with the freeky nature of the i.e version. (I hadn’t noticed it because I generally never break out of Firefox.) I should have been clearer in my original post about what I want (or don’t want for that matter). I’m hoping to have the posts so that they don’t center down the page. The Firefox version is correct.

    Any ideas on where I should look to troubleshoot the problem?

    This has got to be an IE padding thing.

    Where would I look to solve the IE padding thing?

    Look for a line in your landzilla/index.php

    <DIV id=inhalt>

    and add this:

    style=”text-align: left;” so it should look like this then:

    <DIV id=inhalt style=”text-align: left;”>

    That’s it.

    Btw. your page looks nice, but the source code of your site is horrible. 97kB for an entry page?, nested DIVs, TABLEs, even <CENTER>-tags. No W3C-Validation. If one is searching a solution to a specific problem, like this time, its really a pain. I think among the google or amazon-parts there is a lonesome <CENTER>-tag which is causing the ie-problem.

    Please tyr, clean up this html-code! 😉

    Sorry about the bad coding! I think it between me trying to troubleshoot the issue (which is where I got into the “<center>” tag issue) and the fact that I borrowed a theme that a non-native english speaker put together: http://www.vlad-design.de/, means that my code quality took a nose-dive.

    But you bring up a couple of issues for a novice like myself… What the best way to check my site against W3C validation? I have no problem doing so, but I’m not sure how to do it… Is there a W3C validation process that will suggest solutions to my bad coding?

    Thanks!

    I found the answer to my question in the second paragraph with a simple google search!
