Hey, I have a question!

It feels so weird when I have a question.

But here goes.

I am an old school HTML kind of person. The fancy possibilities of CSS are still new to me. Brandon was helping me with my new layout, and I ended up making changes the other night and moving things around.

My site,
http://www.kaylafleming.com/ looks just like I want it to- in Firefox that is.

In IE, my kaylafleming logo is way up, and the yellow highlighted text is not on top of the gray div where it is in Firefox.

I've moved things around a few times, divs within divs, but couldn't get it right. Any ideas?

This is an extreme learning experience.



Look at the messy css!

oh... I don't have teh solution to your main question... but to fix the blue borders around the flickr images in IE near the bottom of your page add this line of code to your current css file (it should work)

Code:
#containerblack2 img {
border:0px;
}
