Yesterday I was informed that the first line of text on my website appeared upside down in Internet Explorer 6 without flash player. I'm pretty sure that assessment wa...
I have a website that is perfectely centered aligned. The CSS code works fine. The problem doesn't really have to do with CSS. I have headers for each page that perfectely match eachother.

I know, I would have thought the answer was obviously "no" as well, but I am experiencing a strange situation where when I view my site from our staging server it appears slightly larger than when I view it from my local dev server.

Does anyone know of any good tutorials for creating a website template (like something you'd find on http://www.oswd.org) using Paint.NET?
