title: IE 8 Background Color is Wonky
body: <p>My website, HeelsFirstTravel.com has an issue when someone views an individual post in IE 8 only.  </p>
  
  <p>The hot pink box in the upper right hand of the posts ( <a href="http://www.heelsfirsttravel.com/2013/07/09/another-reason-to-go-to-vegas-bacon-edition/" rel="nofollow">http://www.heelsfirsttravel.com/2013/07/09/another-reason-to-go-to-vegas-bacon-edition/</a> ) bleeds into the entire background in IE 8 only.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried actively setting the background to white, but this makes no difference.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea how I can fix in this one browser while preserving the box?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: A user insists this only started a few days ago, which has me scratching my head even more. Nothing really changed!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
