I took some screen grabs off Aliza's computer so that people can see what's happening:
Grab 1 - The top of the page. Notice the lack of navigation bars on the right.
Grab 2 - The navigation picking up at the end of the posts.
Now here's something strange - notice the blue horizontal bar between the posts and the nav links in grab 2. That bar is part of a CSS "container" that should encompass both the posts and the nav bars (each of which is in their own CSS container). The blue line usually lives at the bottom of the title image.
If anyone has any thoughts, let me know. You can see the CSS for this page here

So the bar is probably a padding issue with three containers. Even though they are in there own css container (the content and sidebar) they are in a shared css container that encases both of them. The bar is being generated because the sidebar or the content container has some sort of padding or margin that IE messes up. As for the sidebar being on the right side, there is probably an ie hack that you can type in, check out some forums I am sure I have seen the fix, or a fix that you can use that only IE will use.

A couple of questions:
1) What version of IE is Aliza running? (Did you mention this earlier and I just missed it?)
2) Try making your container wider -- just for testing purposes -- to see if it renders correctly on her computer. Some browsers (particularly older ones) add up borders, margins, and padding incorrectly, so even though 720px should be enough, that particular browser might not think so.
3) Try browsercam (http://www.browsercam.com/default.aspx) or a similar site to see how the page looks in a bunch of different browsers. It could just be a bug in that version of IE.
4) Why isn't she using Firefox, anyway?

She's using 6.0.2900, same as my dad, where it works fine. I may try to fix it at some point, but if hers is the only system on which this is happening, I'm not going to give it too much time.

Yeah, seriously. She doesn't need to read your blog, just tell her in person.
