    Help me.

    It looks very nice.

    Internet Explorer has a lot of display problems that you’re going to have to work around. Welcome to the world of web design. ??

    I didn’t look at your code, but I suggest modifying your padding and margins here and there. (But first, back up your theme!)

    By the way, your URL is geahn.freehostia.com/blog (without the “www”).

    It looks like you’re running into two different bugs in IE. First, IE6 and earlier don’t support PNG images with alpha layers (your backgrounds look fine in IE7). There’s a workaround, but AFAIK it can’t be applied to background images. Alternatively, some image editors (I know that Paint Shop Pro does and I imagine that Photoshop does as well) allow you to specify the “background” color of a PNG. This color gets ignored on viewers which support the alpha channel, but will get used by IE. If you set this to the median color of your background (looks like #2B2B2B), then it will at least look less ugly (the color will be mostly right, but the edges will still be slightly visible).

    The other problem is that IE6 and IE7 use the wrong box model by default (IE5.5 and earlier always use the wrong box model). You can fix this easily enough in IE6 and IE7 by triggering Standards mode, but the margins will still be off in IE5.5 and earlier. The alternative is to use conditional comments to include a special, IE-only stylesheet which includes margins more to its liking (use “[if IE]”). You can also combine the methods by triggering standards mode and including a conditional stylesheet which triggers on “[if lt IE 6]”.

    HTH!
