optimizing for IE

[spiderstars]

Hi. Sorry, I'm asking yet another obnoxious question again, but I just finished coding my journal in firefox, where it looks fine, but when I open up my journal in IE the links list has disappeared, the date is not left-aligned, and the top padding on the entry linkbar seems to be missing. I was wondering if anyone could help me fix this without changing around how my layout looks in firefox. Code below.

body {
background:#40C0CB url(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/199/newpatt.jpg) repeat scroll;
font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:11px;

}
a, a:visited {

text-decoration:none;
}
a:hover {

}
