Blog layout fixed for IE 6

I *think* the blog layout is fixed in IE 6. The widths I had set on the list elements for the items on the right hand sidebar seemed to be breaking the layout in IE 6.
I still need to sort out the scrollable DIV that contains and formats code blocks. I had to scale their widths back to stop the layout breaking. The downside is the content is compacted and isn't very readable. I plan to write my own solution to output and format code blocks. Hopefully this will address the issue.
I've also tried to clean up the blog markup in general as loads of superfluous whitespace was being generated. I've made some improvements on this but it's still not as good as I'd like it to be.
The calendar was one of the biggest whitespace culprits; it's my own calendar custom tag and not Ray Camdens. I rewrote everything in CFSCRIPT and it's cleaned up the output nicely.
I also removed the recent entries pod from the sidebar. It occurred to me that it was kind of a pointless thing, seeing as all the recent entries are on the blog homepage.
