The new blogger is driving me crazy

Maybe I shouldn't have changed the template, but I was getting tired of the one I had. It looks good in Netscape, but in Explorer it's all messed up.

Anyone out there have any idea how I can move the section with the posts in it up so it is parallel with the sidebar? I've tried fiddling with the settings in the template edit screen, but not knowing what any of those thingys mean, I'm afraid I'm doing more harm that good.
