You’re not seeing the strangely-large borders around the top navbar as I showed in the screenshot in my OP? I’ve viewed it in IE8 on two different computers and it looks different than it does in FF or Chrome, or even in IE9 and 10.

Yes, that’s correct. I was planning to do this once they give me the go-ahead to finalize the site (they had an older site on the same domain and I didn’t want to remove all of their old content just yet).

However, this still doesn’t address my initial issue where things look weird when viewed under IE8. Would moving the installation directory really fix something like that? I was assuming it was an issue with WordPress’ pre-installed CSS or JS conflicting with mine or something.

Thank you very much. It seems actually that the validation service didn’t follow the redirect I had put in (I was specifically asked to leave some old files accessible, and I found this to be an easy and quick way to do it. Once they no longer need them, I plan to do away with this temporary solution). Running the validation service on the actual WordPress homepage I have gave me this.

What do you mean by “difficult to access”? How would I go about improving that?

Unfortunately I’m not very familiar with WordPress at all (just HTML and CSS) and so I feel a lot of things, such as the plugins that I used, are a “black box” to me, so to speak. I feel like either something that came with the theme or one of the plugins (unlikely, as the site looks unusual even once I disable my plugins) is causing the site to render unusually under IE8 and I can’t figure out what it is.

Thanks again for the reply.
