Default Blog Nightmares
Hey all!

I've been schleping (sp?) since this time last week trying to get a blog up and running. I've been at my wits end more than once with trying to use the headway template I'm using. But I'm still struggling with something new that has cropped up.

A bunch of the leafs that are on the index (Home) page are just a mess when you view it from Internet Explorer. I developed it in Firefox because that's what the template requires - but viewing in IE, it does not look the same. Things are mushed together (if you look you can see a difference where I list the phone number near the upper right)...my Social Media icons should be in a vertical line across the top...and the leafs at the bottom...well those will be really obvious. It's just at my website.

Question is - does anyone have any thoughts or experience where this could actually be a WP issue vs. the theme? I do have a query into the Theme's support forum - but it's been several hours and it's late on a Friday where they are - so not sure I'll hear from them anytime soon.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

OH - and by the way. If you ever need really good help on blogging - may I recommend Tina Marie Hilton with Clerical Advantage / Girly Girl Geek! I know there are many VA's on VAF that are equally qualified, but I just happened to get some experience with her this week...so.

She brought me a mighty long way on all of this, this past week, and I owe her a lot. I'm saving on more hair color from the extra gray I was getting!

I hate to break it to you but this is an IE issue and is something those of us who code and design for the web deal with on every single project. I'm willing to bet the site renders differently in IE7, IE8 and of course will look different again in IE6...

It's a matter of continuing to tweak the code until IE understands it as you intend.

Thanks Tess! Sorry for such a long delay in reading your post. Been off at my son's graduation from Navy Bootcamp.

Ya...I'm beginning to learn your pain. I've learned that many of you pretty much have quite the opposite of warm fuzzies when it comes to IE.
