Discussions > Something Is Broken > cannot view posts in Internet Explorer (The problem is one of old HTML versus new CSS. ...to align the photos. Instead of using "float: left;" for the photos, which is CSS, I used "align="left"" which is old HTML. This change completely threw off how my blog appeared in IE. Now that I changed it back to CSS--float:left; everything is okay again. So, if you're having problems with how your blog appears in IE, make sure that your code is CSS compliant and not the old HTML stuff). ??
