 * My header image isn’t top aligned, though my code says it should be. Could someone
   please help?

 * #header {
    width: 760px; position: absolute; background: url(images/header_final.
   jpg) no-repeat top; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important; font: 
   35px Georgia, Arial, Serif; letter-spacing: -1px; height:199px; }

 * In Firefox, the header is right at the top of the screen.
    You have some issues
   in IE though ….

 * Sorry to report ..
 * IE6 is horrible looking
    Everything but the header shifted over to the RIGHT 
   like a 100000000px.

 * I know… it stinks in IE. I’m miserable with this…. any suggestions? Thanks on
   the knitting! I think the template I used to make mine was a little screwy. I’ll
   check the #rap.

 * it’s not the #rap….
    #rap { position: absolute; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px !important;
   padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; text-align: left top; width: 996px; }

 * expand this to 900 instead of
    width: 760px;
 * try that for a quick fix
 * or get rid of the width comletely

 * this = the header width?
 * that would just move it over. it needs to be top left aligned.

 * OK, I added “left” to the background image. Is that what you meant?
 * #header {
    width: 760px; position: absolute; background: url(images/header_final.
   jpg) no-repeat top left; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important; font:
