Why doesn’t IE like my blog? It is because of all the embedded crap? Or is it because I don’t know CSS and how to make a layout that works for all browsers, and I ought to just pick a theme and not mess around with it? I’ve tried some Firebug-esque debuggers for IE, but I haven’t found anything that works just like Firebug for Firefox, and I don’t want to screw up the layout for Firefox.
Whoever can tell me how to fix all this gets their choice of…hmm…let me have a look around…
-
some 37-cent stamps
-
the O’Reilly book “Learning CGI Programming on the World Wide Web” (circa last century)
-
a bound copy of my homeowner’s policy from Unitrin/Kemper
-
a big Yankee candle jar still with 8% of the wax left (“Lemon Lavender”)
-
a week of free advertising space on Toastiest (a $0.0099 value!)


Here’s the fix: stop using IE. Put a not on your blog telling readers to use Firefox.
Oops, I meant “note,” not “not.”
No, no, I agree you should put a big NOT about IE usage.
But if you insist :) IE7 loads without a problem. The error message I get in IE6.0 is “Press OK to continue loading this page.” This appears to be similar to the ActiveX problem with embedded Flash.
