Desperate plea for help: Any Typepad Gurus know why this blog is screwed up in IE?

OK. They say timing in life is everything. I'm busily working away on Grand Rounds, which I host tomorrow, and I get an email from fellow MedBlogger Matthew Holt.

Elisa, he tells me, your blog looks like crap in my Windows IE browser.

OK, he might have phrased it a bit more delicately.

Anyway, I'm on a Mac and use Safari, where the blog looks just peachy. But yes, I've confirmed the blog looks like hell in IE on both Mac and PC.

Why? No clue. Haven't played with the templates, Typelists, sidebar content or anything in ages. This looks like the same thing that happened after Typepad did their big upgrades weeks ago. Only republishing isn't helping.

I've submitted a trouble ticket. I've even emailed my buddy who works for SixApart. But hundreds of people may be descending on a blog that looks like crap starting tomorrow morning, and I don't know what to do about it.

Any ideas? Anyone?

PS-how does it look in Firefox?

It looks great in Firefox -- I'm not an expert on getting things right for IE, but I think it may be the order of elements in your imported stylesheet. Closer (i.e., lower on the sheet) overrides farther (higher on the sheet), so if the styles that create the nice 3-column layout I see in Firefox are set out higher in the stylesheet, and then those same styles are redefined lower in the sheet, then IE appears to overwrite the column layout with a plain one that doesn't look nearly so nice.

Hope this helps.

Looks fine in Konqueror, too, although hardly anyone uses it.
