Seeing More Pages Broken in IE

Just happened to be checking this blog in Internet Explorer (yes, it still happens occasionally, at least when I'm checking pages for cross compatibility) and I noticed something funny. This page is broken in IE, but looks great in Firefox. In particular, the menu to the right is pushed way down to the bottom of the page in IE.

I've been seeing this more and more as I surf the Internet - pages that look great in Firefox but look abysmal in IE. It used to be the other way around.

I would guess the root of the problem is that, while most casual surfers are still using IE, more and more web designers are exclusively using Firefox, and forgetting to cross-check their pages.

Update: Well, it's been a few days, and it looks like my blogger template has been fixed. I doubt my little post had anything to do with it, but you never know...
