Need help - possible Firefox issue

On my website http://seasidequilters.blogspot.com/ I'm having a
problem that someone thinks might be associated with Firefox browsers.
I'm hoping to find someone in this forum that might be willing to check
my website with Firefox. Sounds like I might have a float problem/div
problem that is visible to Firefox users only

Here is my problem:
From my PC and majority of viewers of my webpage they see the Flickr

badge (photos) on the right hand column. One user has a problem where
this blue bar (flickr) appears on the left side, or at the bottom...and
causes them problems viewing the text on my webpage.

I'm trying to learn more about web development and what I've created is
my learning tool...I can't yet detect where I might have a float or div
problem in my code so I'm at least trying to debug it to see if it is
only with Firefox users.

Can someone check and provide feedback?

Anyone willing to look at my code and provide feedback?

All help greatly appreciated.

What system are you using that you can't run Firefox on? I'm not being
sarcastic - *every* web developer should be checking his/her site in
Firefox (or other Gecko browser) as a matter of course, partly because
it's the second most used browser and partly because it supports
standards the best. (Although Opera does one or two things better.) Just
download it.
Sounds like I might have a float problem/div
problem that is visible to Firefox users only

Here is my problem:
From my PC and majority of viewers of my webpage they see the Flickr

OK, with weird problems, always start with the validators. See
http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/webmat...list.html#html
.... and you may find some of the other suggestions on the page useful as
well.

excellent advice. a quick validation check shows the webpage doesn't
have a doctype and has several css and html errors.

Validate the pages and you're problems might just go away

And who are you talking to? Care to share the excellent advise, e.g. by
leaving a quote from the message you are replying to?
