Display issue in IE 6
A friend made me aware of a problem with the way this blog displays in Internet Explorer 6. If you’re using IE 6, you’ll probably see a gap at the end of the first post on the main page that’s not supposed to be there.
This isn’t a big deal, but if it bothers you, you might want to upgrade to the latest version of IE. Or try Firefox. It’s a good browser, and it’s free.
2009 UPDATE: This blog has a new (purple) theme, but I’m told the new theme also doesn’t work properly with IE 6. I apologize for this.The IE 6 browser has a bad reputation. Here’s a look at why you should stop using it.
Many of the photos on this blog will look better in Firefox than in Internet Explorer. I use Firefox and I definitely recommend it.

The NEW new Royal News Blog!
Welcome to the Royal News Blog at its NEW new location!
I recently moved the blog (from its original location on TypePad) to WordPress.com, but that only lasted a few hours because I soon realized WordPress.com wouldn’t let me use javascript. No javascript would mean no royal news photos, so it was goodbye WordPress.com and hello RoyalNewsBlog.com!
Please update your bookmarks, because the old Royal News Blog on TypePad will soon be taken offline.
I know the blog looks bare right now. That’s temporary. I have to find a theme and get things organized here.
Ideas? Suggestions? What do YOU want from the Royal News Blog that isn’t out there already? Please share!
This blog offers only a taste of what the World of Royalty has to offer. If you want to see all of the latest royal news from around the world, visit Royalty.nu’s Royal News page!
