Layout issues in IE6

It seems there are a few layout problems in the design that I haven't noticed before. Well, these are actually problems with MS Internet Explorer 6 as I've not experienced them in any other browser. There seem to be some issues with the spacing of news posts on the front page as well as a problem with the image at the top of the page.

I'll look into the problems and if I find a simple solution then I might fix them, but if this is just IE6 being stupid then I'll just recommend anyone reading this to just get a good browser. In fact, I never saw this problem when using IE7 so just "upgrading" to that should solve the problem.
