A veteran of early html, I've modified my blog template and made it
look rather clean (albeit rather plain) when viewed with IE.

Ironically, I'm a big Firefox fan, but when viewed in FF, my blog
leaves a lot to be desired.

The blog (which is at http://lazycomic.blospot.com/ ) is a basic two
column style, with the right column being the one that's giving me the
problems.

In IE, it has nice padding around the text in the right column and
decent spacing between it and the left (main) column. It also sits
rather nicely in the middle of the window.

PROBLEM #1 > In FireFox, the text in the right column is slammed right
into the left edge of the column. The bulleted items even go into the
main column. (I've noticed the FF users continue to read my blog -- and
I appreciate it -- but it looks rather dreadful.)

PROBLEM #2 > In IE, the color (#f5f5f5) for the right column follows
neatly until it's done, while it FireFox it seems to end abruptly.

I'm sure there are a ton of poor syntax issues with my blog template,
but any help on correcting these two problems would be a great step in
the right direction.
