 * When someone visits my web site ([http://uhec.net](http://uhec.net)) with Explorer
   5, there is a huge gap in the middle section… The text only begins at the bottom
   of the page. Any way to fix this? Thanks!

 * Yeah, sure… But is there any other way “old school”… People who visits my site
   aren’t always the most up-to-date with technology…

 * Yes there is. But it calls for web construction skills which are way beyond most
   theme designers currently use.

 * Ok thanks… So basically there isn’t any piece of code to solve this problem, 
   right?

 * There’s no WordPress code aimed at IE5 (or any other browser).
 * However, if you search the web a bit you’ll find reference to CSS hacks and such
   that you might look into to gracefully “fall back” for the limited capabilities
   of older browsers.

 * Thanks… But I think I will put a small Firefox icon somewhere… Should be easier,
   as I don’t know much about CSS… Unless someone would be kind enough to tell me
   what code I need to put…
 * Thanks

 * Its not a single fix. It needs a determination that IE5 will be supported. From
   that a whole mess of implications follow.

 * This might give you a start but it doesn’t address your issue directly. I am 
   researching such things myself.
