Uh, that would be me… Logo and headlines clipped and some weird scrolling effects
I’ll have to see if I can figure out where the trouble is in my style sheet.
The beta makes a very good first impression, but it is Beta 1. I have it running on a test system, where I don’t mind restoring a backup in the event of problems.
First look coming up soon.
Update: Fixed the logo, but it’s all still pretty ugly. I’ll have to take a closer look at this stylesheet in about two weeks. Not now.

Quick solution would be to tell IE8 to render the site in IE7 mode by sticking meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=7″ / (with square brackets) in the head of the page.
Looks like you have a special stylesheet that applies to all versions of IE (6, 7, and 8 )
@import url( http://www.edbott.com/weblog/wpcontent/themes/winterday-10/ie.css);
Try sending IE8 the same code you send to Firefox
Also, also try using the conditional comments to target IE6 and IE7 only with

<!–[if lt IE 8]>
You can always look at it in Safari on a Macintosh.
I can’t believe I know the author personally! Right there in black and white, cousin Ed!
web sites aren’t the only thing it appears to effect. I have a post into FeedDemon atm concerning some funkiness that is occurring in it since installing (and uninstalling) IE 8. This probably happens because FeedDemon uses the IE engine.
I also had one other strange problem as well with an app in dev but that was corrected with a System Restore – but that didn’t help with the FD problem
As it stands it looks like I’ll be doing a restore from an image backup to get back to normal.
Just add the following to the header template:
Problem solved. That said, I still need to do that.
Hmm .. didn’t show up! Wonder if it likes this better …
<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=7″ />
Well with a whopping 160 errors and 13 warnings in your xhtml code (NOT including frames), are you really surprised it doesn’t look good?
Start with a good validator and work your way through it from the top down.
There’s a handy little link at the bottom of you page that says “XHTML”. Try it out sometime.
