IE Conditional comments should be a last resort for backwards compatibility.
These workarounds, and inline styling will make future changes more
difficult. Take the time to make it right now, and save time in the future.

I also noticed the page has 107 errors. You'll be surprised how much a valid
page will help in css styling. Validate it.

Also, not on my high horse, just passing along tips I find invaluable. I
certainly have struggled with CSS myself. Best of luck,
