Hi all,

I have no experience designing any kind of web page, but I put one up for my wedding and I'm having trouble with the formatting in IE6.

The page looks great in firefox, but in IE, the post feed is not in the right place.

You can see the page at www (dot) davidandmaggiecroushore (dot) com

How do I fix this problem?

Where is the post feed in general ? I can't see it in FF

I have it set to show only 1 post per page so that it acts like a website. The index on the right contains the permalink of each post. I was trying to disguise the fact that it was a blogsite.

The title, description, and index are the same in FF and IE, but the post content skews way down in IE.

Everything between the double lines is the "feed"

Yes I see the issue.

This is what I see in IE 8

Could you post the index.php code here please ? It will be easier us to help see what the issue is.

The code for the site is a theme I installed on Tumblr. Here is the code that I am using to customize it:

<html>

    <head>

        <title>{Title}</title>

        <link rel="shortcut icon" href="{Favicon}">

        <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="{RSS}">

hmm.. I can't see the issue with the above code. Can anyone else ?

Might be a template issue, is it using any other files for that ?

IE6 has very bad support for CSS, which you are using heavily. Also, FF and IE have different default values for padding, margins, etc.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.
