WordPress MU

I am not a developer, doing this myself due to a lack of finances combined with bad experiences with web developers, so I hope to avoid a rant like others received.

My site http://www.turtlenews.com for some reason looks very different in Internet Explorer than it does in FireFox and other browsers. For one, the Google Weather Gadget does not show up, and two, the fourth column is placed below the third, even though I have a fixed width site and set the widths per column.

Is there a known issue, is there a workaround, am I doing something stupid (again)?

Unbalanced DIVs? IE seems to very easy to upset due to its rather perverse idea of what HTML is. Also it tends to get upset with items overflowing their containing DIVs

Thanks Steve. What can I do about it?

One thing to try:

1) Remove ALL the sidebar widgets - you may find that the problem lies inside one of those.
2) Use something like Firebug in Firefox which will allow you to "select" parts of the page and highlight the code.
3) Once an empty template produces a "Good" page in all the browsers you can test add the widgets in one at a time and see if it still goes wrong. You may find that the order of widgets can cause problems (I know I did!)

I can't even get the site to come up and DNSReport is reporting some serious issues with it.

I'd send you over to to http://validator.w3.org but it can't find the site either. Usually bad coding in some way is the cause of the problem. Without being able to see it, it's kind of hard to point at something specific.

I would have left all of that out. Saying "Please I need some help as I'm stuck and need some help." would have gone a long way.
