Thanks for all the clues... I'll go through them one by one to see if
I can isolate the problem.
As for version, when I have it active, I'm running 0.10.2
It took me a little while, but I isolated the issue for anyone else.
I had commented out the search box as well as commented out the links
in the header.
IE 7 doesn't like commenting ( has to do with the stupid div tags). I
don't plan to use either, so cutting them to a notepad and saving
"just in case" solved the problem.
Thanks for the t-shooting guide. I went through it absolutely step-by-
step and found the problem as well as the solution!
