Hi all,

When I use Mozilla to surf to the blog, it all looks great (or at least it looks the way I want it to look), but when I use IE6 the characters all seem bigger, bolder and not as I want them to look. The text in the sidebar is ok, but not the text from the posts and comments.

What can I do to make IE6 show the text from both sidebar as blogposts the same way? (as in Mozilla).

I checked with IE 6 and Mozilla Firefox and they looked identical.
May be your IE6 (or Mozilla) text-settings (View -> Text Size) that arn't default?

And you are so right, they do look identical.
Earlier today they didnt, but that was at work, so maybe the IE6 at work isnt set properly?
I'll check tomorrow.
Thanks!

just to show the superiority of the Firefox browser:

view this page in IE and then Firefox. You will be amazed.

I have this problem except backwards. My layout looks great in IE, but when viewed in Firefox it looks like Sh--. I've tried many things to fix it and have gotten no where. Actually, both of my websites do that.

This is a problem normally caused by invalid code.
Have your css and html checked by w3 and do the necessary changes.

I've had the same problem. Firefox interprets the code _correctly_ where IE is open for "default suggestions" which leads to the spread of flawful coding. Again we see how IE's tyranny oppress the people and spread ignorance among us.
A lot of people at my office doesn't even know that they're using a browser. They are simply "using the internet". Scary.
