On my blog ( http://www.sinpree.com ) when you click one of the links under the "Previous posts" or "Disclaimer" section it's supposed to take you to that blog entry in it's own seperate page. It does that, however, the blog post (and the image logo) is waaay down in the middle and not on top like it should be. Why is this happening? This is only happening in the firefox browser. It opens fine in IE and is at the top of the page like it should be.
Any help would be great, thanks.

...and never, ever test in IE.
Yes, never test in IE, that way you instantly alienate over 80% of the web-browsing populous- not like you want them coming to your site anyway, they're all evil, evil, Microsoft loving fools who insist on using IE to make our lives a misery....
Okay.. I took the sarcasm too far. Sorry.
Design for standards, tweak for FC ("functionally challenged") browsers. Mm, So PC. But I'm sure someone would complain if I said FC ("Fu..... Cr..").

Obviously you don't understand why you should never test in IE. IE covers up errors in code. Then you must create more hacks to cover up problems IE creates when other things don't work. Then when other browsers can't figure out the IE hacks because they are standard compliant, the coder doesn't know how to fix them because "it works in IE". IE is the problem, not the solution. "IE is a cancer on the web".
drhowarddrfine is right: IE does cover up lots of problems. It always assumes "too much."
After validating code, I always test in Netscape, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

That applies both to the MS developers as well as those evil users. ;)
"Never test in IE" is a bit strong as you point out; better stated as "never design in IE." I.e. Do it right then tweak it for IE if needed. Often very little tweaking is required.

Well said, ray326. :) I agree.

Yeah, that's what I meant. You do have to test for IE eventually.
