It is partly IE but part of it on mine was having the “post” section too wide and the sidebars narrow.

My friend had the same thing and it was solved by showing less posts per page. ??

It’s always the same thing. Almost everyone except you can see it fine.

A friend of a friend fixed mine but it really took some tweaking.

Your not alone. I hear different versions of the same complaint all over the place.

I’m thinking about updating the design in the next couple of weeks anyway. I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.01 and it seems time for a change. I’ll start from a theme that is cross-compatible. Thanks for the tip Zhayena!

Thanks for checking it out Troy, and for the sympathy Tara.

The only time I’ve had this problem before is when I had content that didn’t quite fit in the main column. That might be what happened this time too. I’ll play with it some more when i do the new design. I’m thinking something lighter – to help bring in the spring.

The site looks just fine in the fancy new IE7 beta preview (what a name..!) thing, so my suggestions is don’t worry too much about it.

However, if you really want to fix it, you need to create a css file especially for IE6, and use conditional comments, so it’s only loaded when someone is using IE6.

It’s not too bad tho, something similar happens to my sidebar in IE as well and it’s the only web browser we use at work. I guess they aren’t encouraging us to check out blogs anyway though.
