 * I am unable to get IE 8 to display the sidebar widgets on my main page. They 
   display on the other pages and posts. I am also having difficulties getting some
   images to display. I am using the latest version of WordPress and Tarski.
 * Should I change themes? I love Tarski, but I am not very technically adept so
   I am interested in as a trouble free a theme as possible.
 * The URL in question is [http://www.lkart.com](http://www.lkart.com)

 * at least two of your posts were directly copied/pasted from MSWord; which contains
   a lot of formatting which is not compatible with MS Internet Explorer, and simply
   breaks the display of the site.

 * check this forum for ‘pasting from word’ or similar for what to do next, and 
   what to avoid in the future.

 * I got rid of the text you mentioned, no luck. If I were to retype the rest of
   the text in Word Press, would that work? It’s mostly pictures, so there is not
   a lot of text to begin with, it wouldn’t take long.

 * Alchy, I’ve replaced all of the text on the home page, still I can’t get the 
   widgets to display with IE. They display on all of the other pages, just not 
   on the home page. I also tried with the “Classic” theme, and still no widgets.
 * What gives?

 * Alchy, my son helped me. He had me look at the HTML view of the pages where there
   was a lot of useless broken code that wasn’t showing up on the page at all, but
   still messed up the display in Internet Explorer.

 * I have the same problem with a page that has a lot of pictures on it.
 * It works with Chrome and Firefox but no version of IE
