* Hi all. I am new to WordPress and come from the design side so I am still learning(
slowly) about coding and php functionality.
* I used a template (Solid from bitpub at themeforest) to develop this site and
made some modifications to customize it. I am 95% there and have it looking great
in all browsers, except IE. I know there are other posts and resolutions, but
I can’t figure out how to resolve the alignment issue I am getting with IE. I
did not paste any content from Word, I read that can cause issues. Again, I am
very new to this. I have run the site through the verification and notice that
I have some errors, but I am not sure how to fix them or where to find the lines
that need to be fixed. I have WP installed on the hosting server in a subfolder
and therefore don’t have Dreamweaver linked up to edit.
* Any help would greatly be appreciated. I am hoping to do some more sites and
become a contributor as I learn more, but for now, I have to fake it until I
make it!
* Here is my site:

* Remove this style block at the very beginning of your header.php..
* ```
```
* place it inside the `` tag.

* Raby – Thanks for the quick response! As I look at the header.php file, this
is what I see:
* ```
- askbluestone.com
```
* It seems that style block IS inside the tag.
* I did try to pull it out and remove it completely as well, with no success.
* I wonder if it isn;t an issue with the “wrap” measurement or the content within
the wrap as the footer has the same alignment issue.
* I also tried adding this to the very first line of the header.php document:
*
* But it displayed on the site, so I don;t think that was right.
* Thanks again for the help. Any other suggestions?

* sorry I think I confused you as to where to delete the line I mentioned above.
those lines are actually not hardcoded but echoed out by your global variable(
$class) located inside your header.php at the beginning:
* ```
```
* this declaration is what outputs the `` tag I viewed from your
home page’s source. this is the line that you need to get rid of.
* I also mentioned adding the Doctype declaration a while ago coz when I debugged
your site I didn’t see that appear in my browser. This is needed by IE if you
want to use the `margin:0 auto` which centers your content.
* try that and let me know.

* Thanks again, but no luck.
* Here is the header.php as I have it now (through the end of the tag.
* ```

* I tried it both like that and with the tag starting before the

* Raby,
* Thanks so much for the help. That worked! I noticed though that this bit of code
is messing it up. It has to do with the “wrap” classification. I fI include this
code after the tag, the site still looks perfect in all browsers except
IE. If I remove it, the alignment is correct in IE and other browsers, but there
is no “wrap” section and the background image.
* Any suggestions on this one?
