 * I finally got my site the way that I want it to look and it looks fine on FireFox
   and Opera. But in IE the border below the header is shifted down and so is the
   content. Can anyone help me out and figure why this is happening. If everyone
   stopped using IE I wouldn’t have to worry about it.

 * It looks like your sidebar which is floated left is just a bit too wide for IE,
   so everything has to slide down to make room. Try specifying the width in the
   child-elements of #menu (with IE, sometimes it helps to keep width declarations
   seperate from border/padding/margin declarations).
    This is why I use absolute
   positioning for page layout. 🙂

 * It looks like your “powered by WordPress” Div is a little too wide.

   even more… Josh, I for one, really liked your original concept with the horizontal
   navigation bar at the top. Providing that you keep all the pages the same width(
   among other things), this layout strives to resolve some of the problems you 
   ran into– no thanks to Jeffrrey Zeldman, btw.

 * well willneea I took your advice and went back to the origianl style. I do actually
   like it better then the vertical nav bar. It is basically the same one that I
   had origianlly but alittle bit different. Thanks for setting me straight

 * Josh, sorry but that’s never going to work the way you have it now.
    The layout
   I did has been uploaded to this address: [http://www.dlaakso.com/josh.html](http://www.dlaakso.com/josh.html)
   Although I am no longer using with WordPress, I will leave it on my server through
   Aug 25. I’m sure that someone on this forum will be able to assist you.
