In reply to: Page background looks horrible in IE but fine in FirefoxI see you already started making changes.
In your stylesheet (style.css) add this to #sidebar:
float: left;I think it’ll be working after that change.

In reply to: New Theme Overwrote General SettingsWell, that’s because the header is an image, and therefore you don’t see your ‘general settings’.
You could replace the header image with your own.

In reply to: Navigation bar using images with rolloversSince it will be anchor links, you can use the :hover selector to change displays (for newer browsers you can use :hover on other elements as well, but those won’t work on IE6 and below).
A simple tutorial can be found here.

In reply to: All of the title is written in capital letter!a url to your site would be very useful in an attempt to help you, but I suspect there’s a
text-transform: uppercase;somewhere in your stylesheet. Simply remove that.Peter

In reply to: Mocking up new Template…IssuesI’m not quite sure about that bottom-sidebar. What would happen if you made that part of the sidebar div (and remove the float on that div)?
I’m not quite sure how that one behaves right now.
so this:
</div> <!--End of "sidebar"--> <div class="bottom_sidebar">into this:
<div class="bottom_sidebar"> </div> <!--End of "sidebar"-->Peter

In reply to: Page background looks horrible in IE but fine in FirefoxAh yeah, it’s that huge margin-left on sidebar.
Put a wrapper div around content and sidebar, remove the margins, float both left and don’t forget to clear the floats afterwards.

In reply to: Mocking up new Template…IssuesYou have to remember that the border is created outside the element, so a 1px border adds 2px to your element, both in width and height. Therefore your layout is gone. to compensate you would have to decrease the widths of the containers you’re putting the border around.
But forget .blog-content and #sidebar, these are alright (although .blog-content itself has some floats in it).
The clear is in the div:
<div id="content"> <div class="blog-content">blah</div> <div id="sidebar">blah</div> <div class="clear"></div> </div>and the css:
#content { width: 900; } .blog-content { width: 600; float: left; } #sidebar { width: 300; float: left; } .clear { clear: both; }Peter

In reply to: Mocking up new Template…IssuesThe divs are correct, but it’s the clearing that isn’t. If you put
border: 1px solid red;in #content, then it should be around the entire post, including the sidebar, but now it just stays at the top, just under the header. I suggest you look at all elements that use floats, and see if they need clearing.Peter
