nobody asked…

An email message just gave me a tip that something was amiss. I’m a Firefox devotee, but I do check the rendering of my pages in IE6 after any major change, and there has never been a problem. Until now. Seems the Search box, Calendar and all the rest of my sidebar have slid to the bottom in IE. They’re all there and look the way they should. Just in the wrong place, about 4 floors down!

I have no frigging clue where to start looking, but look I must. No, wait! Maybe I could just get the rest of the planet to go ahead and switch to Firefox and be done with it. If any of my more erudite readers has a tip that might shortcut the process, please sing out! I am not begging, mind you, just pleading LOUDLY…

UPDATE:
The sidebar.php in the fading_flowers theme had lost all formatting, but correcting that made no difference. Also discovered in the Admin login, Manage - Files reported the header and sidebar.php files did not exist! Obviously they did or the site would not have rendered correctly in Firefox. ????? So until the problem is solved, have switched temporarily to the Quentin theme which had previously been loaded. It had not been polished as much as fading_flowers, but at least it works OK in both Firefox and IE6. So the problem has been localized to the theme and not to the WP installation. Still seeking answers…

WHY does this kind of crap always seem to happen on holiday weekends?

The battle continues…

Switched back to the screwed theme. Had fingers crossed that by resting it and rebooting it, all would be solved. Don’t laugh - works with computers all the time! But no, zilch, nada…

Will leave it like this while I try to get some assistance from someone who knows a great deal more than I do. And that could be any dude or dudette off the street…
