IE Fixins

What is going on with the Nested div?

It is simple really, at the bottom of every post is a link to its category, the manual trackback link, and the comments. This chunk is in a div, which is inside of the main entry div. This entry_footer div is styled to clear any right-hand floats, (this is because i float the "Listening to..." div to the right.)
So one of two things is going on. Either:
1) the entry footer div is clearing all the right-hand elements, like the sidebar... or
2) the width of the entry_footer div is such that it cannot be positioned beside the floating right side, so it gets bumped to the bottom.
While Harmony had her nap, I spent some time working with the css of the site, in attempt to fix some of the brokenness. Not surprisingly enough, Internet Exploder is the biggest culprit. There are posts abound about how much IE interferes with shit. There are plenty of Well deserved tirades all about how Internet Explorer's CSS mangling is teh suck.

I fixed the list at the right hand side. It still needs some tweaking, but it is coming along. At least it doesn't horribly break in IE anymore. Next up on the list, is the little problem of the nested div, that clears inappropriately.

It is by no means perfect. The margins are a little screwy, the first date div is smashed up against the left side due to some kind of box-model freakout I am sure, but for the moment, the CSS is at least workable in IE. God, what a piece of shit.
