A friend of mine emailed me today to ask me for help. It had been brought to her attention that her blog layout breaks completely in IE (which she never uses so had no idea). I ran the URL thru the HTML validator and it found 294 errors, which can't be a good thing. I've had a look myself, but nothing stands out (and i'm not that good at this stuff anyway myself).

Would anyone here mind having a look and seeing if they can easily enough identify what the main problem is? Just so that it stops going insane in IE.

Many thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Looks like a CSS problem. Mind you, the page could validate perfectly and IE would still chew it up, so unless there's a known workaround for whatever IE spafe is causing the text to grow incrementally, the problem could be unfixable.

Anyway, I'd start off by looking at the font sizing for a relative value that's being hiked up by bad nesting of divs or something.
