Daniel, IE is known to have many float bugs, and one variety
is characterized by a vertical margin or padding being duplicated
further down the page. This type of dupe bug is always "togglable"
by hovering of links located in certain elements, but only when 
a background or certain other properties are changed on hover.

You happen to have such a bug, and the BG change on your lower 
hovered links causes the top margin on div#archives (apparently 
being duped onto the top of the cleared br) to vanish from the br.
Then, hovering of the links above the br restores the phantom
margin to the br.

You can fix this several ways, by removing that top margin, by
removing that cleared br (which seems not to be needed anyway),
or by changing the hover effect. The best is to lose the top margin
on div#archives and substituting a margin or padding on some other
element.
