Issue #1: Don’t use relative urls for images. Use the full url:

Issue #2: https://quirm.net/2009/06/12/setting-up-a-static-wordpress-home-page/

Issue #3:

I have made sure that the respective section in iestyles file matches the stylesheet file yet it continues to shift left.

Bad idea. That file is supposed to be different to the main stylesheet.

esmi,

Issue #1 resolved – Thank you very much! It amazes me that it was so simple.

Issue #3: I have made sure that the respective section in iestyles file matches the stylesheet file yet it continues to shift left.

Bad idea. That file is supposed to be different to the main stylesheet.

I made no changes other than the font size to either file. am I missing something?

Depends. What version of IE is giving you problems?

esmi,
I have version 8 installed and I am only using it for reference purposes, since the majority of my audience will be using it.

I personally use Firefox for my browser preference and this site looks great and as expected in it.

changing the font size may cause this issue. Just try resetting it to the original (which was already in your theme) and check how it works in IE8

Thanks ryans149,
But I already thought of that. The only reason I messed with it in the first place is because it was way to small and shifted left.

esmi,

Issue #2: https://quirm.net/2009/06/12/setting-up-a-static-wordpress-home-page/

I did what this post stated and it worked perfectly. However, if you check my site, I now have two home pages. How do I remove the blog page?

I have version 8 installed

In that case, you can add any CSS changes that are needed to the iestyles.css file.

I personally use Firefox for my browser preference

If you don’t have the Firebug add-on, you might want to consider installing it. It’s a great tool for identifying and experimenting with specific CSS on a displayed page.

this site looks great and as expected in it.

I’m not seeing any sidebar shift in IE8 at the moment. In fact the display in both browsers is remarkably similar (you’ll never get it to be identical). Are you remembering to press CTRL and F5 simultaneously when viewing an updated page?

esmi,

I’m not seeing any sidebar shift in IE8 at the moment.

I am actually concerned with the header tagline or description, as it is called within the theme. It shifts left in ie whereas it doesn’t in firefox.

Ah – missed that. Try editing iestyle.css and changing:

#description {
	width: 38%;
	font-size: 12px;
	margin-top: 10px 0 0;
}

to

#description {
	margin-top: 10px 0 0;
}

Esmi,
That worked perfectly!!!

Thanks…

Any ideas on how I can remove the extra home page from the site?

Edit header.php and look for:

<div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>">Home...</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages;?>
</ul>
</div>

Try just removing:
<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>">Home...</a></li>

esmi,
Thank you very much for your help. Everything is working as desired now.

Until next time…
