    I get the opposite problem as all mine look fine in IE but ae all over the place in Firefox. Im looking into this today as I have a bit of time and will report back later, unless someone beats me to it!

    "Not working" can range from "I don't see anything" to "All the pictures are off the screen".

    First, try a fresh new installation, with no plugins and with the standard theme. If this doesn't look the same on IE and on FireFox, than your IE have some issues or some strange settings.

    If the fresh WordPress + the standard theme works the same in both browsers, try to change the theme to the one you use now. Then add plugins, then make the changes up to the current state (that is, if you manually changed some files, like index.php, or style.css).

    Verify, at every step, if it looks the same in both browsers. Please reply with your progress.

    Good luck!

      Thanks for your suggestion. So that means, I have to delete my blog?

        No. You can install a fresh one, in the same database, in a subdirectory of the current blog.

        For instance, you blog is at address http://myblog.com
        Create a folder, called test, using FTP, so the test blog will be at the address http://myblog.com/test

        Upload the standard WordPress files into /test
        When you edit the wp-config.php file, change the tables prefix to something else than the standard, not to overwrite the existing tables.
        Instead of
        PHP Code:
        $table_prefix  'wp_'
        put, for instance,
        PHP Code:
        $table_prefix  'wp_test_'
        Some investigations take longer than the others, but if you want to find the reason, this is a sure way to go.

    I do not think it is related to the wordpress install but it's because of your template you use. Change it for a moment to default or classic and you will see it's ok.

    When I opened up your site in IE and indeed I had no sidebar etc etc but when i look at the source code all is there. So it means that without looking a bit futher there is some code that causes IE to hickup. Best place to look for a fast solution is at the owner that made the template
