it shows up fine for me (using IE7 beta 2).. but uh, links are hidden by the color scheme.. normal text appears fine. i just copied your css source file verbatim, made up an index in two seconds, and this is what i got:

ya i know what the css works, but not in ie 6.x+. its odd, it just doesn't show

for example try this

http://sterling.is-a-chef.com/site

it works in firefox but not IE

i would try to take a better picture, but i am at school and it works correctly at home
