oh…is that why they hate it…it sounded more like they couldn’t get anything to work correctly in IE and just said screw it. *shurggs*
did you try setting the padding and margin to 0px in the body tags or the css?
it looks really bad in IE. it doesn’t even show all of the posts and some of the stuff on the side overlaps with the entries (closer to the end of the side bar).
maybe you can try making the page valid xhtml and it might eliminate some of those problems.
in fire fox it looks ok.
