Nice looking site! I’m curious how do you get the image in your post to enlarge and open within your blog? Are you sing a plugin for that?

I wish I could afford to hire you..lol. I did run my site and it seems fine. I put in a post to Derek so lets see what he comes back with.

Till then – Kudos!

Curtis,

I think you have some broken tags in your code somewhere. Run your site through the http://validator.w3.org/ validator and fix those errors. That will probably sort out your IE7 issue.

Alternatively, hire me and I’ll fix it.

Cheers,

Ade.

I reduced the 30px margin but it did not fix the problem.

Hi Curtis,

Thanks for your nice comment – glad you find the site interesting.

If the site looks OK in other browsers than you’re right, it’s a CSS issue. Try reducing the 30px margin and see if the column appears correctly. I don’t think this is an overflow issue however, I think it is simply that IE is much stricter about the width of divs etc and your nested containers (divs) are too wide for their parent container. Hope that makes sense!

If that doesn’t work, post a link to your site and I’ll take a look.

Sorry I should clarify that my problem is … my third column is showing up below my main content (not to the right).

First let me say thanks SG for such a great site. I come here often for tips and as you will see you inspired the layout of my grid focus theme. However I am having a problem with the theme showing up in IE7.

I tried adding ” overflow: hidden; ” in the line below but it did nothing. I think that’s because Derek already had the overflow code in this string. CAN YOU HELP? Thanks in Advance.

.secondaryColumn {
float: left;
margin: 28px 0 0 30px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 240px;

Derek,

Thanks for “heads up”, I will check out your new version. Actually, one of the reasons I choose your theme was because I liked the way it had been coded, and found it easy to customise.

Keep up the good work!
