    If you have IE6, you will see at here, that the main content, sidebar, and footer shifts 7px to the left from where it's positioned in Firefox.

    I don't think it's a double margin issue though. Can anyone see what it is?

    Is a day and a half sufficient to ask for help again? I haven't had any response and I'm a little puzzled.

    Well, you should PROBABLY get valid HTML in there first...

    <ul id="sidebarwidgeted">
    <h2>Recently Written</h2>
    <ul>

    Uhm, do we see the problem here? The 'wrap' div is also unclosed, etc, etc.

    But then, it is a turdpress template, so one doesn't entirely expect valid HTML.

    Add this to the top of your stylesheet.
    * { margin:0px; padding:0px; }
    Code (markup):
    See if that makes a difference.

    Thanks for the constructive criticism DS. I appreciate it.

    I'm just learning. I tried using a different stylesheet for IE6, but then it wrecked it for IE7. After a bit of searching, I found out how to do a simple hack for IE6 in the stylesheet, and now it seems to be working, and as far as I can tell it seems pretty valid now too.

    Thanks again guys.
