tsk tsk tsk... they've forced inline. Terp, look for the li elements, change display:inline; to display:block; and add float:left;
Sir, many, MANY thanks. In my hours and hours of trying, I did remove the inline, but had no idea what to replace it with, so put it back in there. Lesson learned.
And thanks for Peter for the IE developer tool...installing now. I decided I will use IE when working on my sites for now on, rather than spin my wheels in FF only to find out it looks like crap for IE users, which still account for more than half of the Internet...but add my name to the list of people who dislike Mr. G. now...evil.
I looked at that blog last week, but didn't look too robust...but after reading the features and the scope, it sounds like it could develop into a good alternative to MyBlog...nice.

...and just went to read up on the display declaration, as I always try to learn as I go so I can solve these problems in the future...but I am not sure why that one worked...if was a hight issue, not a width...was ready the difference here:
www.quirksmode.org/css/display.html
display: inline means that the element is displayed inline, inside the current block on the same line. Only when it's between two blocks does the element form an 'anonymous block', that however has the smallest possible width.
display: block means that the element is displayed as a block, as paragraphs and headers have always been. A block has some whitespace above and below it and tolerates no HTML elements next to it, except when ordered otherwise (by adding a float declaration to another element, for instance).
So one should shy away from using inline, if the block and float gets it done? I need to take a week off to get a better command of CSS
