It was the doctype. Thanks guys! ??

LOL! Like I said, I’m not a CSS guy at all. I was basically given a PSD from a friend for my wife’s blog. She doesn’t do HTML/CSS at all, just graphic design. I only do it when I have to. Like I said, I’m a coder. I only do design when I absolutely have to. All of this web design stuff is foreign to me, so yes, it is most likely a terrible, awful, no good, very bad mess. ??

OK. I see what you are talking about on the strict server/DOCTYPE. However, I believe my host uses IIS for its PHP hosting as well as its .NET hosting. Hmmmmmm… I’ll look at that after work. I appreciate the help from both of you!

Oh. Specifically notice the font size of the nav menu and the font size on the post titles. I can’t get to match the html mockup. It’s just weird!

OK, I have it set up on a test site for now. Here is my mockup that I made for my wife’s blog. It uses the exact same CSS files as the full WordPress site.

The test WordPress site is:

First and foremost you’ll notice that I have a lot of work left to do, but you should also notice that a lot of the css is not making it through and placements are WAY off. Again, this uses the EXACT SAME CSS FILES and the html markup (outside of the categories, etc. should be pretty darn close to the same). I know that it still looks like crap.

I’m not a designer, but I am a developer. I have decent knowledge of CSS, but I most certainly am not an expert. I can fight my way through it, but this thing is driving me crazy.

This is actually my first go around with WordPress theming. I have experience with other blog engines but not WordPress, so don’t judge me. ??

Do you want ALL of it? Do you just want the CSS? HTML? Just snippets?

Oh, and thanks for responding so quickly! ??
