Figured it out. Anyone who wants to accomplish the same, here is the code necessary to do it:

<?php
$numcomments = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = '0'");
?>
<?php if ( $numcomments ) : ?>
<a href="wp-admin/moderation.php"><?php echo sprintf(__('Awaiting Moderation (%s)'), number_format($numcomments) ); ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>

The only solution to this I’ve seen is to output the entire site through RSS, then import the RSS into WordPress. This seems extremely unintuitive to me. Has anyone had any luck with a direct Geeklog>Wordpress port?

That did it! I knew it was something easy I just wasn’t seeing. Thanks, doodlebee.

Sheesh. It took a week to design the site. Then it took a week to find and fix one problem so that it would work with Internet Explorer. Is anyone else just plain sick of Microsoft?

No luck. I also tried changing the CSS directly, still no luck.

My site is now Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and the sidebar is still screwed up in Internet Explorer. Everything in my original post still applies. Any ideas?

I ran the site through validation and I got a lot of random errors (I was expecting this since this is the preliminary design). However, I douldn’t see any errors that should be causing the sidebar to move to the bottom.

Again, is anyone seeing something I’m not?
