Problem with Shoutwire Tag

I've posted bugs previously relating to the little Digg and Shoutwire tags that allow you to vote. The generated CSS tends to be quite buggy and these tags don't play nice together, e.g. having a Digg and a Shoutwire button next to each other is impossible.

I discovered yesterday that having the Shoutwire Vote for Me tag breaks my blog template completely now. I'm not sure why it does, but having the Shoutwire TAG means the rest of the page gets mangled with pictures not showing properly, ad words not showing up, etc. Taking it out instantly restores the blog template to its proper format, so it must the generated HTML. It fails in both IE 7 and Firefox.

I've gone through my blog postings and stripped out all the Shoutwire buttons as a result. You can still go to Shoutwire.com and if you see a posting of mine there you can vote for it on their main site.

I'm an admin at ShoutWire, and I have been assured that the developers are working on the problem with the "Shout This" button.
