Hey guys, i've recently published my portfolio sight, and it seemed to be all working correctly in different browsers, until i noticed an image misaligned in Safari. The header and main content of all the pages (other than index.html) are in the same div, and i have tried to just add <br/>'s to get the alignment of the main content to line up the left sidebar. You can check it out here: www.benstewartdesign.com . It should work fine on Firefox but if you open it in Safari you will notice the main content of the div appears as though it is already 5 lines below the header, which means it not floating to the right side of the header. Here is my code of my "contact" page (which is the simplest example of the main content sitting lower than it should, again only in Safari have i noticed this) and CSS sheet:

If you guys have any idea it would be great, i've been getting a lot of compatbility problems between Safari and Firefox, mostly dealing with Safari not recognizing relative placements and floats.
