A long time ago (I think it was before the IE 7 release), I fixed up my blog to "work" with IE 6. It'll work, but it's not going to be pretty. The problem was that no scroll bars wouldn't appear on my absolutely positioned divs, so I ended up using JavaScript expressions in a special CSS file (included through conditional comments).

I am aware that I have mixed PNGs and GIFs throughout the site. It is on my to-do list to adopt one of the formats and stick to it. I have not decided which one though.

You can use CSS, JavaScripted CSS, conditional CSS or .htc behaviours to fix png transparency. Might find a good solution if you Google 'AlphaImageLoader filter'. Your widths issue is probably due to Internet Explorers' incompetence with the CSS box model. (Width = Padding+Width in IE6- and Width = Width in everything else) No nice solution to this other than cutting out the padding. Your width issue could also be due to IE's double-float-margin bug, but I think that's less likely. And be wary if you mix pngs and gifs for designs - there's inconsistancies in the gamma element of pngs between browsers, which means that your identical colours can be inexplicably different when you compare pngs to gifs in different browsers!
