Broken CSS

The Blogger template I'm using is called "Minima Lefty Stretch". Out of the many pre-made templates that Blogger offers to you, it seemed to be the one that best fit my needs [1]. One of the cool things about the pre-made templates is that they look very consistent across all the browsers. However, even Blogger (Google) can't get it right all the time.

Shortly after posting my previous entry, I realized that the items in my OL list didn't have numbers when viewed in IE 7. When I checked the page in Firefox, Safari, and Opera, they all looked fine. I do want to get my blog to render correctly in IE, so I guess I'll have to either tweak my existing template or else create a custom one from scratch.

[1]Since this is a blog about programming, I plan on posting a lot of code snippets. These look terrible in the majority of Blogger templates because they get truncated by the width of the main content DIV. Minima Lefty Stretch is one of the few exceptions, since it stretches to match the width of the browser viewport.
