 * No, OP should fix the validation errors. Firefox, and possibly Chrome, is much
   more forgiving on xhtml coding errors, but will force other browsers, like IE,
   into quirks mode.
 * I think the main problem is an unclosed hr tag.
 * So instead of
 * `<hr>`
 * OP should write
 * `<hr />`

 * The site has some [validation errors](http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cornwellfuneralhomes.com%2F),
   correct these, an you’re probably fine.

 * Probably 80%+ of the time, a failed mysql_query() is caused by a syntax error
   in the query itself.
 * I think you should contact the theme builder for this, it’s not a WP thing.

 * Oke I admit that was kinda cryptic 🙂
 * your site (in the header of your php files) declares itself as ‘xhtml transitional’,
   but for it to be, the coding has to follow certain rules, has to be ‘valid’.
 * The errors emerge from either your template files (the php’s in your theme directory)
   or, as RVoodoo suggests, from your plugins.

 * Your xhtml is’nt [valid](http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fss-designs.co.uk%2Ftroyblog%2F)
   transitional.

 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

 * There are several options for doing so:
 * make 6 different [page templates](http://www.boosten.org/page-templates-in-wordpress/),
   or call them by using [custom fields](http://www.boosten.org/example-uses-of-custom-fields-in-wordpress/).

 * Please start by validating the source, you have some errors (23). If I counted
   correctly you have some unbalanced elements (opening tags <> closing tags).

 * That particular phrase indeed is a bit too much to the left in safari en ff (
   mac).
    Will have a look at it in a jif.

 * > Now, how do I go about creating the text in its own class
 * Assuming you edit your posts/pages in html mode, just add this in front of the
   text of the specific post/page (but after the image):
 * `<div class="myuniqueclass">`
 * and this after the text:
 * `</div>`
 * Now open your style.css and add the following (to the end is fine):
 *     ```
       .myuniqueclass {
         float: left;
         width: 500px;
       }
       ```
   
 * (you can fiddle around with the width-part, but making it too wide will push 
   the text down.
 * I believe this might be enough.

 * When you use percentages, then all is referenced to the internal stylesheet of
   the browser itself (which might and will be different for each and every browser
   in the world, since this can be customized).
 * If you want to have your site look the same on every browser, you’re better off
   using fixed widths.
 * Also: box models are different for IE, so if you used margins/paddings this could
   effect the look as well.
 * Could you post a link to your site?
 * Peter
