IE has me at my wit’s end
I give up — I seriously need help! I haven’t gotten the hang of Wordpress AT ALL, and coding themes from HTML/PHP has been turning out to be nothing but disasters. I can’t get them to work in Internet explorer. *scowls*
Would anyone want to help me code the two layouts I made into themes? I would give you an award for your site in return, I’m serious. Or a link on my sidebar, or permaplugs on my plugboard. Or a free redirect URL, or another layout. Anything! Pretty pretty please? :)
EDIT: Thank you to everyone who replied! I didn’t expect that many people to be helpful, really. I completely appreciate it.
Just to clarify, the gorgeous theme I’m using now is a template made by Vixx, downloaded at Geek-Goddess. The two layouts/themes that I found problematic can be viewed here (the Mischa Barton layout), and here (the Rurouni Kenshin layout). Then there’s also the Magnolia theme, which works perfectly in FF but the widgets somehow messed up the sidebar. Argh. Both are viewable in Firefox, and that is the ideal view, actually. View them in Internet Explorer 6, and they’re just screwed. :(
I am serious about returning the favor. So thank you again in advance for all your help! I’ll be emailing you guys who volunteered below the zip files of the themes. Muchas muchas gracias![20 May 2008]

well…seeing as I’m an idiot, and had failed installing wordpress, I guess I’m no help with that here. xD
Oh and thanks :D

My exams are almost over, and I’d be happy to help then! The tutorials at liberta were really helpful when I got stuck :3
Also, are you themes only messed up in ie or do they not show up in firefox either?

Lovely layout. IE is really a hard-to-get browser. Its existence doesn’t seem to make any sense at all since it tends to render pages differently. What particular problems are you having?

Hmmm… It looks fine in IE7 though~~ I’ll go check it later at IE6 when I get the time. XD

Hehe, I was just about to offer my assistance as well, but it looks like you’re alright!
I’ve coded two layouts in Wordpress already, so if you need any help still, give me a holler. (:
Also, misstuned.com has a guide to turning regular layouts into WP layouts: http://misstuned.com/for-you/quick-n-dirty/
If that helps! Good luck!

Wow, your layout looks great.
I love wordpress. I don’t know why I’m not using it. :] I’m sure once you get the hang of it it’ll be so much better for you. :]
And thanks about the luck.
xx
Anyway.. How are you?

LOL, designer’s angst. Cross-browsers compatibility can drive you nuts, especially IE.
