Sometimes, it's just the little sticky things that can muck things up, glad I could help. I did finish the book at the end of April. I'm just entering into what my editors call the "Final Author Review" where I get the chance to review and revise the text I've written and bring it up to date with any new releases and functionalities that WordPress has released since I finished... which has been quite a lot - so I'll be busy over the next month with that. It is scheduled for release on (or about) Sept. 10th. Thanks! Chris - that’s great news :) I’m glad it helped.

If you look at my <a href="http://sandbox.ewebscapes.com" rel="nofollow">Sandbox Testsite</a> - you'll see I was able to duplicate your problem there in IE. Here's the issue...your text widgets. Currently your code looks like this: <code><center> <li><a href="http://chrishoyt.com/general/do-you-follow/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://chrishoyt.com/images/ifolloworange.gif" alt="You Comment I Follow"/></a></li> <li><a href='http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=htmkting1' target='_blank' rel="nofollow"><img src='http://www.hostgator.com/affiliates/banners/poweredby.gif' /></a></li> <li><a href="resources112.php" rel="nofollow">Other Resources</a></li> </center></code> You have your elements wrapped in LI tags with no preceeding (or ending) UL tags. On my test site - when I added the preceeding and ending UL tags, it displayed just fine. It also displayed fine if I just removed the LI tags (before and after), as well. Looks like you have it this way for your Text 4 and Text 5 widgets, from what I can see. I didn't check all your text widgets - but you may want to. Let me know if we've hit gold :) Hi Chris —

I took a look at your source code. If you look at my Sandbox Testsite - you’ll see I was able to duplicate your problem there in IE.

Here’s the issue…your text widgets. Currently your code looks like this:

<center>
<li><a href="http://chrishoyt.com/general/do-you-follow/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://chrishoyt.com/images/ifolloworange.gif" alt="You Comment I Follow"/></a></li>

<li><a href='http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=htmkting1' target='_blank' rel="nofollow"><img src='http://www.hostgator.com/affiliates/banners/poweredby.gif' /></a></li>

<li><a href="resources112.php" rel="nofollow">Other Resources</a></li>

You have your elements wrapped in LI tags with no preceeding (or ending) UL tags.

On my test site - when I added the preceeding and ending UL tags, it displayed just fine.

It also displayed fine if I just removed the LI tags (before and after), as well.

Looks like you have it this way for your Text 4 and Text 5 widgets, from what I can see. I didn’t check all your text widgets - but you may want to.

Let me know if we’ve hit gold :)

It's like when I add a certain number of widgets, the sidebars go crazy? I've just set it back up like I had it when I first noticed the problem. Thanks for responding so quickly. If we can't figure it out, I'll take your advice and download the theme and try reloading it. Thanks! Chris Hi Lisa,

I went to your site and loaded it in IE6 and IE7 and am not seeing any problems at all. This site (blogdesignsolutions.com) also uses widgets and I don't seem to have any issues with the display here, either. Just for further testing - - I loaded it on my <a href="http://sandbox.ewebscapes.com/" rel="nofollow">Sandbox Testsite</a> (using WP 2.2) just to see if I had any problems with the display right 'out of the box' so to speak (i.e. no alterations in code or CSS, just the straight theme) Your request has me at a loss. Have you, perhaps, modified the templates or CSS at all since you downloaded it? If not, I would recommend re-downloading the theme, completely delete the one you currently have installed, re-upload and activate it and see if that makes any difference for you. Thanks!

Well about a week ago, I decided I'd make life easy and start using widgets. I hadn't used them before and found that they made life so much easier. I use Firefox and didn't bother to look at my site in IE. I went to my site in IE today and the sidebars were mangled? I've played around with the widgets some, trying to pin down exactly what is happening, with no luck so far. I guess my question is whether you've heard of anyone else having problems that are similar? I know thats not a lot of info, but I'd like to start by making sure this isn't a problem thats already been solved. If you'd like to see what I mean, I can set it up again and let you know. I made some changes to get it back to where it looks halfway normal for now. Thanks for your help! Chris Hi Lisa,
