    Sauron, I probably deserve some scorn. And i have a mouth that launched a thousand slaps at times. Add to it a good dose of frustration and give me a keyboard and i can be pretty snarky.

    Just to add to the information, i’ve never had to access my .htaccess file. Due to finances more than anything, i have my stuff hosted at godaddy. Yeah, it’s dogfood but the price is good and i can call them at 2am and they answer (yes, i’ve called them at 2am). Looking back, i don’t think the problem was with the .htaccess, but i have no way to tell now.

    After two and a half, nearly three days, i just decided to export some tables then wipe the slate clean. It had nothing to do with thinking something was “beneath” me; it was impatience and frustration.

    Well gosh Saurus, i don’t mean to be snide here but given that i’ve been “playing” on the Internet since the days when all we had was a bash prompt at a dial up, and our editors were vi, emacs or pico and you had to cat your nntp attachments manually if you wanted to d/l any sort of binary (not to mention TRN or TIN), i’d say i’m relatively comfortable with reading something like how to move my WP url.

    And clearly i made a mistake which is why i posted here. Unfortunately after two and a half days (or maybe it was three), and no responses, i decided to start from scratch. Believe me, i’m no slouch with these sorts of things; especially since i’ve been writing html for the better part of ten years, i know a bit about mysql and can weasel through some php when i need to.

    So please take this as i mean it, but you were 3 days late and when you finally arrived, you were of absolutely no help whatsoever. I hope your demeanor is a bit more considerate and professional to others.

    StrangeAttractor- You might be right. Unfortunately there’s no way i can second guess myself. I did export my entries into an .odt document, which means there’ll be a lot of cutting and pasting eventually, but at least i have <b>something</b> to work with.

    Thank you,
    shelly.

    nevermind.

    i just nuked the entire site, scorched the database and started over. problem solved.

    oh well.

    ekimdmb,

    Please don’t take me as the last word on this but the problem as i understand it is that Microsoft, when developing IE, decided the W3 rules on CSS behaviors was not interpreted correctly by the rest of civilization. As a result, IE treats things like margins and paddings differently than Firefox would. Or maybe it’s just padding or just margins- i can’t remember.

    I ran into this problem as well. I settled on a theme i liked that played nice with both browsers. As a personal side, i don’t really care how it renders in IE since i find Firefox a much better browser. Of course, your mileage may vary.

    Look at your blog via Firefox and see if it renders better.

    best of luck,
    shelly.
