Site Completely Invisible in IE6! Help!

My site http://www.laptopinch.com refuses to display anything in IE6, yet in every other browser (Flock, Firefox) everything renders fine.

I've done my best to figure this out and have a specific IE6.css file where I've tried to correct this behavior, but without success.

Would anyone with Firefox and Firebug please look at my site and tell me why it isn't showing at all in IE6?

I mean really, the entire site is white...lol.

To the person that can help me fix this, I'd be more than happy to reciprocate with a stumble, digg, post whatever to help you in return.

Thanks!

Wayne

I really have no idea what the problem is. I'm not going to comb through all your code, but I know of a very useful application that will. The W3C validator came up with 10388 Errors, and 6665 warnings. Perhaps your problem is related to that?

Took me a bit to figure out what the problem is, but I found it, you need to get rid of this:
Code:
<!--[if Flock]>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.laptopinch.com/wp-content/themes/adelta/flock.css" type="text/css" />
    <[end if]-->
IE is the ONLY browser that reads conditional comments, and it apparently doesn't like having that in there. As soon as I took it out, the page appeared.

Steve, thanks for that. You actually helped me in a way you were not expecting. I used: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ to do the validation, and it said everything was hunky dory. the link you gave however barfed all over me, so apparently there is some differences between the two that I'm not aware of. More work, thanks.

LadynRed, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I moved the Flock statement prior to the IE and it came up for me. Sigh, whoda thunk? Live and learn, thank you so much for the effort. If there is anything I can do to help, just give me a shout!

Cheers!

Wayne
