I'm being told my blog is looking somewhat distorted by some readers, although it looks fine on my pc. I looked at it from a different computer and there was a huge blank spot near the top of the blog and the first post appears about 1/3 of the way down the page. Anyone see anything weird/ know how to fix it?

I think its an internet explorer problem because it loads fine in Firefox. I used MSN Explorer for a bit and that problem you mentioned happens in MSN Explorer (which uses Internet Explorer).

Also in Mozilla though, your right sidebar doesn't display properly at the top where the "Net-worth" thing is. Also there are a load of "tick bullet points" in random places.

Other than that - great blog!

I'm seeing the same thing that you're talking about. BIG CHUNK of blank space and then your blog...

But the coloring and everything looks great.

You def have an IE problem. I checked it at 3:29 us est time...seems like a div visibility problem off the top of my head....or maybe a positiong element not compatible with IE

It could be the above, its could also be the sidebar(or navbar) and the main content area add up more in width than the container(big white box which everything is put on) size, so ie knocks them down.

Yes its the same for me in internet explorer, the only way to fix it is making the photos smaller

hm seems like there's a problem or two. Why can't ie and firefox just get along? Actually, I hear they've decided to collaborate.
I just checked the site out in the latest version of IE (the one with tabs) and it looks fine. My screen resolution is set at 1280 x 800.

Either way, I think removing the networth thing might help (It's not particularly impressive

). Adnan, could you clarify what the "tick bullet points" are? I wasn't aware of that.

Sorry if I was a bit unclear:

(Soz bout the bad quality as well but I think you can see what I mean).

Ooh that. Yeah, that's part of my template and it automatically does that. Not sure of how to get rid of it though.

As for the networth thing, something weird is going on. When I look at the pagesource (View-->pagesource) I see the coding for the networth graph. However, when I go into the sidebar file on my computer (the same file I uploaded to the site), there is no sign of any coding for the networth graph. That doesn't make any sense. I even re-uploaded the sidebar file with no trace of networth graph html code, and the website still shows up with the graph. Strange... any ideas? I could send you the coding for the sidebar.

Yeah you could send me the coding for the sidebar - Im no expert but I'll take a look. Have you tried refreshing your browser and stuff like that, and are you sure you uploaded to the right area etc.

Just make sure cos that's definitely a bit weird. PM the code or Email.
