I just tried to install another plugin and got the same error message. I went to that plugin’s page and someone else had the same error, the author suggested that it is because I was running PHP version 4.x. Well sure enough, I upgraded the PHP to version 5.0 and it installed!

So it must be a problem with the theme. I changed themes and the feed works ok. Still no idea what the problem is though.

I figured it out (I think)! In css my main block used a “position: relative;” call and that was (in IE) causing the post to sit on top of the image. So by adding that to img in css, it fixed the problem!

img {
border-style: none;
padding: 4px;
position: relative;
}

Now I just have to work on cleaning up my coding! 😉

Thanks for everyone’s help!

The problem is that first < p >, it is automatically put there by WordPress. Even when I write in < center > < p > and end it < /p > < center > WordPress forces an initial < p >: making it look like < p > < center > < p > – No idea how to deal with that.

I really appreciate all your help!

This is what I see as source code:
<div class=”storyContent”>
<center><img src=”http://www.mattjonesblog.com/img/cubanssm.jpg&#8221; alt=”Cubans”/>
Dan, Sean, Greg, Chad, and I enjoying some fine Cubans and some fine company.
</center>
<span style=”float:left;”><img src=”http://www.mattjonesblog.com/img/dancubansm.jpg&#8221; alt=”Dan”/></span>

I did validated the html (for the first time obviously!) and the only errors left are small things that I will have to weed out (my bad use of blockquote for example or external links that have odd strings) – EXCEPT for my “center” issue. What seems to be happening (maybe it is more) is when I write the post in wordpress it automatically inserts a “p” at the beginning of the post which means that the first lines ends up <center> which isn’t good. Any thoughs on that one?

That being said, even if it is bad HTML, it still works and my main problem is still the issue that the “left”aligned image still does not show up in IE, regardless of what I do to <center>.

Thanks, but I cannot actually see where I have done that, I am usually pretty sure to close things in the correct order. the <h2> tag is used for headings (like the date) and are closed pretty quickely.

Or are you suggesting making a new tag in CSS to use?

And again, it isn’t the “center” image that is having problems, it is the “left” (or “right”) aligned images.

Yeah, that seems to be the case. I just added them one by one…
