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.
