Hey Everyone,
I need a site check for my blog at: http://mediacritiq.blogspot.com
The site validates in XHTML 1.0 Transitional on the front page as well as the CSS (except the classic.css which is generated) , but on the item pages the XHTML doesn't due to a lot of generated code that I have no control over.
I have checked my site in the following browsers: Firefox 2.0, IE7, IE6, IE5.5, IE5.01, Opera 9.2
Any constructive criticism or errors/problems noticed in Mac/Linux browsers would be greatly appreciated.
The CSS for this site is shown below:

Well organized, well coded. Looks good on my end
The 'What is MediaCritiq?'
The 'What is MediaCritiq?' post looks like it's missing the dividing line that separates it from the next post.
Your social bookmarking links should be wrapped in a block level element.
There's some inline styling which should be moved to the stylesheet and some <br>s used to create spacing when margins should be used instead.

Nice layout and easy to read / navigate except that the default font size is pretty small
