Fixed for IE
Thanks to Arve Bersvendsen I found a solution (once I discovered there was a problem) to the atrocious rendering of my site by Internet Explorer. I apologize to anyone who had to look at that after I claimed the site…

All Here
Well, my move from blogger is complete thanks to a WordPress plugin: Import New Blogger To WordPress. It was exceptionally smooth and I have all posts, comments, and categories from blogger. I had recreated all but one category already, but…
