I use IE so rarely that I didn't even notice that my blog is messed up in IE:

In Firefox, it shows up centered, the way I expected.

Is it just me? I swear, the last time I checked it in IE, it was okay. I haven't really added much to the site...

Try text align: center in your body tag:
body {
font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
background-color: white;
color: #2A4010;
text-align: center;
line-height: 1.7em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
} You may have to alter your text to align left in your content style sheet.

PS - not tested so I could be wrong

Yeah that works:

In FF: margin: 0px auto;
In IE: body{text-align: center;}

Make sure you set you inner divs to text-align: left because in IE they will inherit the center attribute from the body tag

:goof:

Wow, I spaced on this post. I don't know what was happening then, but it's working now.

Thanks to both of you for your help, and I apologize for the delay in responding.

You don't need to do

body { text-align:center; }

in IE. Margin works just fine, but you have to specify it for all four margins, not just use the left/right, top/bottom pairs like you can in IE So...

margin:0 auto 0 auto;

margin:0 auto 0 auto;This is a hack for IE5 I think to make the site center.
