I have just checked my site with the changes allowing MSIE for windoze to parse my site correctly, and apparently now it has decided to display other elements incorrectly. I have yet to determine the culprit, but now at least the nav menu is not floating over the post content.

I am really getting to the end of my rope with this whole business, I am either going to drop support for IE/any windoze, or create a new layout that does not rely on certian CSS 2 elements that IE borks on. The only caveat of course is that the elememts that IE borks on are ones that are groovy and make CSS2 worth using. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
