In reply to: Posts “Cut Off” in IE 6.0 but not FirefoxWell, I’ve corrected quite a bit of invalid code and while that’s a good thing, it has not corrected the problem. It seems to be related to full posts (the_content) as opposed to excerpts shown in categories (the_excerpt). I say this because the problem does not appear when you view categories or archives.
Seems to be some sort of formatting issue contained within that portion. Moshu, you’re familiar with the includes… any ideas?

In reply to: Posts “Cut Off” in IE 6.0 but not FirefoxOK… Now this is strange… The problem seems to be happening intermittently:
I refreshed the page and it worked. Then refreshed it again and it was back to being problematic.
Should I try upgrading to 2.01?

In reply to: Posts “Cut Off” in IE 6.0 but not FirefoxThank you for catching that. Unfortunately, that did not eliminate the problem. What’s odd is that it displays fine in Firefox, but not IE.
I wonder what IE could be tripping up on…

In reply to: How to create home page separate from blog?That’s correct. I want a static front page with my blog on another page. I looked at the Semilogic plugin. It’s a little klugey, as you have to mark all your posts as “blog”.
Is this the only way?

In reply to: Help, please! My sidebar’s gone nuts!You are absolutely right. It was indeed a bad post. I had no idea that could happen.
Moral of the story: If your site is suddenly formatting weirdly, be sure to check your latest post!
Thanks, everyone for your help. I am relieved to be back up and running.

In reply to: Help, please! My sidebar’s gone nuts!I’ll look at both these things. Jwurster, do you think I should be looking at style.css as well as the posts?

In reply to: Appending a symbol at the end of the Post?Thanks, Michael. I, too, was able to get it to show properly, but just as you did, starting on a new line. Obviously, some mechanism that displays the post is ending with a , to start a new paragraph.
The question is: Where is the code that’s inserting that and how do we get our character in front of it?
Code jockeys, come to our rescue!

In reply to: Tables in Posts?Thanks for your suggestion. As it turns out, the problem was arising out of the font size. Because my stylesheet did not contain a tag for table or td, the font was defaulting to the posting font. In order to get around this, I created a style class with a smaller font, then assigned that class to the table directly in the HTML of the post.

In reply to: Theme works in Firefox But Not IEYou are exactly right, PCMT! I cannot believe it. The blog looks mostly fine once I eliminated that. (Ulf Petterson just posted the same suggestion on his Modern theme blog. There must be something in the water.)
There still seems to be a little weirdness with the display, but nothing compared to before. I will go through all my posts to find the culprit.
Thank you so much. You cannot believe how relieved I am. I thought I was going to have to start from scratch with a new theme.

In reply to: Theme works in Firefox But Not IEWithout it, the text in the post butts directly against the border. The padding seems to provide a space buffer around the inserted text.
