IE-compliant web page up
I just fixed the padding/border problems with the page, so it shows up fine with IE. The fix involves using Mozilla specific hacks to make it understand width/border/… in the same way as IE, that is, deviating from the W3C standard. It’s ugly, but it seems to be one of the standard solutions. The good thing with standards is that there are as many as you want, and if you don’t like them, you can always create a new one.
Now I just need to apply the design to the blog so that it doesn’t show the standard WordPress look, which cries amateur. Some more CSS hacking down the road.
