Someone told me they went to my site using IE and the layout was all messed up. Of course IE is terrible, and I assume the problem was simply due to issues with that particular computer/browser, but I just wanted to be safe–does anyone know if particular themes (mine is currently Pictorico) are more susceptible to these kinds of glitches? Thanks!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I have exactly the same issue with internet explorer, i am using the same theme as you pictorico, and its completely messed up when i open it on internet explorer. i tried showing the blog to a co-worker at work, and we use only internet explorer, it was messed up on all computers, hence its an internet explorer issue. i hope wordpress works it out! dont expect internet explorer to change!
my blog is myeyescapes.com

WordPress.com does support IE9 and upwards. The versions below IE9 are not supported. In fact the most recent version is IE 11 and those who are not upgrading are running a very insecure version.

I viewed your blogs using IE 11 and don’t see any issues.
Check out exactly how many are not using IE browsers here please Internet Explorer Statistics http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp

Are you aware of this?
Microsoft discontinued support for 12 year old Windows XP on April 8th warning that security flaws would not be patched. Now an IE browser vulnerability with the potential to give hackers the same user rights as the current user that affects all versions of Internet Explorer from 6 to 11 has been discovered.

UPDATE: Microsoft issued a security patch 1 week ago yesterday to fix a serious bug in Internet Explorer http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2014/05/01/out-of-band-release-to-address-microsoft-security-advisory-2963983.aspx
