In all IE browsers, it seems the browser ignores the left margin, so
all content is touching the left side of the browser. As for as I
know, the IE stylesheet is properly handled in the <HEAD>. Anyone know
how I should approach this?

This isn't a blueprint issue -
IE does not respect the margin auto as he means to center the container
within the body tag so it is rendered left-justified.
You have code in the head of your page to read a page for ie that probably
has an align:center in it plus other 'exceptions',
but the link doesn't point to a file that can be loaded. (No error message
is generated when a CSS file can't be found.)

Post a file to your server called ie.css in the folder css/blueprint and IE
will see it and use it.

Amy,

I’d suggest that this is caused by you putting the page in quirks mode - as you don’t have a doctype at the top of those pages.

added the doctype to all pages and this seemed to do the trick.
thanks!
