    Hey,

    My RSS button is showing up right in FF, but in IE7 it shows up hidden behind my post. Anyone have any idea what this is the case?

    Got it! I guess now I know what those two ie6 and ie7 css files are for. I had a feeling.

    Actually, it's quite interesting that for all the mac lovers out there, when I go through my site stats only 2.6% of my daily visitors use Safari.

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

    Yea, must be that. Such a convenient browser. I was just checking my site stats which tell me 30.1% of my visitors use IE7...which, I feel if they did the switch to FF they would never go back.

    Back to the purpose of this thread though, I can't say I'm any closer.

    I see that I managed to put a padding to get my RSS button to hang left (in a separate ie7.css file. However I can't bring it to the front. Here's the problem in IE7 (and probably 6, too):

    [​IMG]

    Here is now it should be (as in FF):

    [​IMG]

    This is the code that I'm currently using in my ie7.css file:

    #rss {padding-top:0px; padding-left:90px; }
    
    PHP:
    By the looks of things, it appears that my picture is anchored in the page.php file, since the padding-top is at 0px, and it's aligned with the top of that page.

    In FF though, it's aligned in the header with my 'categories'

    What do I need to add to bring it to the front?
