 * Could someone take a look at my blog Unhingedhospital.com and tell me how to 
   resolve CSS issues I apparently have? I can’t get the broser to fit into Firefox
   or IE6…it’s too wide, but I can’t figure out how to fix it in either or both!
 * Any criticisms, help appreciated.

 * First thing you want to do is to validate your code against the W3C’s (x)html
   validator. there’s a few validation errors that may throw off your entire design.
   No point in trying to fix your css if the html code it’s been applied to is buggy.
 * For instance, in your header, you have an unclosed closing span tag…
 * Then, you may want to look at the relationship between your divs and your tables,
   and how you’ve assigned widths.
 * One possible problem is that your #wrapper div is set to 98% wide, with 10px 
   margins and 1px borders. This means that you have you have 11px on each side,
   representing 1% on each side of available space. If your monitor resolution is
   anything less than 1100px wide (don’t forget the scrollbars), you’re likely to
   force horizontal scrolling.
 * If within that div you have things set at 100%, adding fixed margins and padding
   will also likely wreck havock.
 * FWIW, I’d also set the font sizes in EM or percentages rather than px, as that’s
   hard to resize for your visitors.
 * hope this helps

 * As well, there are a lot of sites out there which can almost act as “css mentors”–
   input into google “css tutorials” and try a few of the top links.

 * Hello all,
 * I’m having a similar problem with my site on IE when the screen resolution is
   1024×768. Anything wider seems ok. Firefox has no issues.
 * The content is pushed down the page and I can’t seem to figure out why its doing
   that. I have backf=ground image set to no repeat but still no joy. Damn IE!
 * My Digg icon (.png) on the bottom of each post is also not showing up at all 
   in IE.
 * Can any of you pros help???
