Also, I tried looking through it but the code was a tad messy and made my brain hurt after a while For one, you had been using tables throughout the site then switched to div's for those posts where a table would have actually been easier. There's also stuff in the CSS (like, margin: -10px) that, I believe, was screwing up the title. You also have all those content div's inside an <h6> which was a bit confusing since those normally just contain text. :/ Also, IMO, the content text looks much better un-bolded (I think text looks loud and yelling if everything is bolded.. it loses the 'header' effect)

Ok. I messed around for a few minutes and did a little editing. This looks good in both Safari and IE5.2mac:

Code:
<!-- div for each content block -->
 <div style="padding: 10px">
  <div style="background-color:#696969; border: solid 1px #000; border-bottom: 0px; padding: 5px; font-weight:bold;">Welcome FIRST Newbies!</div>
  <div style="background-color:#80808; padding: 5px; border: solid 1px #000; font-weight:bold;">
   <p>Welcome to the homepage for Team 1073, or &quot;Team Force&quot;. New to FIRST? Then check out our <a href="firstnewbies.php">quick introductory page</a> explaining FIRST and our place in the grand scheme of things. </p>
  </div>
 </div>
<!--end content block -->

Thanks, evulish.

Well, that isn't quite what we had in mind, but that's definitely a starting place. Thanks for the code advice. Did you say that it shows up fine in your IE? Because it doesn't for me, on my Panther box, running IE 5.2.3

Meh. It looks so nice in Safari...and so uncool in IE...blargh.
