[_grumpxcore]

hey, quite new to LJ customizing and createblog.com sooo hello world!

I have this problem. so i'm trying to get my LJ to align to the left. i ran into a few problems with getting it to the left in Firefox but eventually i figured it out. then i realized that IE tends to ruin things and not show up correctly. so I opened IE and BAM! everything's centered again. ARGH i dunno whats wrong. can someone please take a look at this...
