Hi Joel,

Unless you want that navlist centred I'd reccommend floating those list 
items left instead of displaying them as inline elements. That way you 
can treat the anchor tags as block level elements and things should be 
more consistent in IE.

Take a look at some of the examples on listamatic for guidance:

You will probably need to float the <ul> to contain the <li>s and then 
use a clear: both; rule on your main content area.

Also watch out for IEs doubled float margin bug, use display: inline; on 
the <li>s themselves then display: block; on the links within.

Good luck,
Rob
