The major problem I have is that the footer appears in the wrong place when viewed in Internet Explorer (see screengrab). Someone else spotted this problem and as I'm using a Mac to create the website, it's difficult for me to replicate (which I need to do to check that I've fixed it). I'm running Windows on the Mac using VMWare, but have IE8 installed and have discovered it's pretty complicated (thanks, Microsoft) to have more than one version of Internet Explorer installed on one machine - it would be nice to have IE6 and IE7 on there as those cover the majority of web use.
This link on multiple versions of Internet Explorer is worth a read if you're having the same problem, but unfortunately is a tad out of date now and links to some things that are also out of date:

This website offers one solution, in the form of a screengrab of your website in different versions of IE, but this requires uploading the site and therefore doesn't let you test it quickly while you're developing. It also only shows the screengrab of the top of the page.

I shall update this if I find a decent solution..

UPDATE!
A friend directed me to a bit of software called Spoon, which requires a download and lets you try the site out in a variety of browsers. Interesting to read on this site that it sounds like Spoon is best installed with Firefox rather than IE8:
