This seemingly happened overnight.

The styles that are inline work fine. Anything in the head does not
(which, if you notice, includes some styling information plus a link
to an external sheet named rapking.css)

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Validate your page:

 <http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chrisrapking.com%2F>

You are declaring an XHTML doctype. That means that your page must be written
to XML rules - all attributes must be quoted, and empty elements such as link
must be "self closing", like this:

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="/rapking.css" type="text/css" />

You're also missing some required "alt" attributes on your images.

Indeed, fix that first.

Also, what are you trying to do with: " clip:   rect(   );"?

Thanks for the quick replies!

I closed the self-contained tags with the "/>" and fixed the
validation (except the ALT tags. We'll leave those alone for now; I
don't think thats my problem).

I think that Dreamweaver threw clip: rect(); declaration in there for
fun, because I did not know that clip: even existed as a property.
It's out of there.

But my problems remains. :/

So what in the HTML is the head styling (not the separate css
sheet linked to) meant to be styling in the HTML?

It's meant for another page, actually. I was kinda writing-on-the-run,
without much thought, while finishing this for a class project. I
agree, I could better organize some various aspects of the CSS. Still,
it boggles me that this is not loading in IE (I'm using 6), while it
loads in Firefox...

Ok... so it is incorrectly loading my stylesheet, although the linking
is not the issue. It is apparent that it has some things right
(background, first-character of p elements), but not most. I ran my
CSS through a validator which gave it no problems... ahh.
