I finally integrate the main index page generated by Movable Type and ran into some quirks between IE and Firefox. First thing I noticed was there were multiple entries in the CSS file controlling the look and feel. When I changed one, I had to change the other. But instead, I just removed the duplicate. It really was annoying as these entries were not anywhere near one another in the lengthy style sheet.

Second thing was IE was not reading the style sheet properly since I am using the page as an include. If I go to the actual file in IE, everything is fine, but not on the page I want to display. I thought it was a hierarchial problem. The file was one folder deep in the site. But the more I played with the settings, it turned out that IE just needs to have the font sizes be explicity told. Using "small" or "x-small" cuased IE to not correctly display the font size properly.

At last the site now is on Movable Type. However, I still have to integrate the journal section. In theory, it should not be as difficult to do, I just need to figure out a way to separate the years instead of having it just list all months.
