    Monaxle,

    Thanks for visiting my site (braimee.com) and commenting on Barnyard. Say, when my site tanked yesterday I needed a new theme to resurrect it so I used the same one as you (hope you don’t mind). I’m having a heck of a time with the header…I could never get the search box to move up and have it look ok on both IE and Firefox. Don’t suppose you’d be willing to share your CSS so I could see your example?

    Thanks,
    Brian
