You have a bunch of xhtml validation errors, and at least one css error. You should fix all of that then see what happens in IE. As a rule BTW Firefox is doing what it is supposed to and IE is doing what it wants to. Anyway you should have well-formed xhtml and css before you try to investigate why a particular piece is good in one and bad in the other.
See http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.electricjimmyland.com%2Fmywords%2F for the xhtml errors, and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.electricjimmyland.com%2Fmywords%2F for the css issue.
Thanks for the tips! I was able to find and remove the CSS error. I'm a little stumped by the xhtml errors though. Which file should I be looking at? index.php? default.php? I checked both of those in the blog root directory, and I don't see the code that is listed in the xhtml errors. Or should I be looking at a subdirectory of the blog directory?
Thanks again,
Ocean

Your skin isn't fully compatible with the version of evo you are using ( which is a few of your errors ), you need to upgrade it.
The rest of your errors can be found in /skins/<skin name>/_main.php

Thanks for the tips. I didn't realize that there was a newer version of the skin. I downloaded the 1.9 version and dropped it in. I was able to clean up both the CSS and the HTML so that they're now validating without errors.
Unfortunately though, I'm stuck with my original problem. The top of the document is still garbled. Am I now at the point of just living with it or changing skins?
Thanks!

Aw crap the skin is broken. http://skindemo.b2evolution.net/a.php?skin=fplanque2002 for those who have IE, and can possibly shed light on the situation. I'll try, but, well, I just don't hold out much hope for me fixing skin issues anymore.
I don't know anything about why, but can confirm that when I use Firefox it looks good, and that when I use firefox capability to see it as IE it gets messed up.
