Site looking terrible in IE

    I just started a new blog and I did some customization on the template, my standard browser is Firefox but now I tried to check out the template in Explorer but it looks horrible. It seems that all the text is in bold style, does anyone know how to fix this problem??

    Thanks,

    IE has poor css support.

    Open your css file and replace:

    #body_right{
    width:279px;
    float:right;

    with

    #body_right{
    width:279px;
    float:right;
    font-size:10px;
    font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

    That should put you back on track. It might not correct all of the changes that need to be made.

    Once you update that code let me know and I will take a look.

    For your footer you need to do the same thing.

    Find:

    #footer_text a{
    color:#bfbaa8;
    text-decoration:none;

    and replace with:

    #footer_text a{
    color:#bfbaa8;
    text-decoration:none;
    font-size:10px;
    font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

    You can fix the bold wording by changing the font but it will be more work then it is worth. It doesn't look bad bold IMO.
