Congratulations on the move to Apple hardware and software. I have been using Apple hardware since 1995 and have never regretted it.
I used to use the same theme you are using for my blog but keeping it XHTML and CSS compliant was a challenge. One error and the page would not render properly in IE on Windows systems.
One of the great challenges using Wordpress is keeping the site compliant and unfortunately many of the shared themes are not compliant.
The first thing I check when looking at a theme is whether it runs error free using XHTML 1.0 Transitional - if not I abandon it.
The Kubrick theme that comes as the Wordpress default is compliant and the theme I now use is also compliant.
The problem with themes not meeting the XHTML 1.0 Transitional standard comes from the way people hack CSS and paragraph and list classes to accomplish the layout they want.
When I checked your site at the Validator at W3C (http://validator.w3.org/) your site came up with 54 errors. from my past experience that number or errors would bork IE and your users could have a challenge seeing the right sidebar.
I do not know how many visitors visiting your site are Windows and IE users but on my site it is still over 80%. Using Firefox 1.5.0.1 on my iMac your site looks fine.
I just wanted to share my experiences with Wordpress and welcome you to the Mac community. If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know.
